I had Molly for a few months after my husband died, then I was hospitalized for 8 months and my daughter took her. That's where her problems started. When I got out of the hospital, I went to live here for a 6 months without Molly, then back to my home for 4 months with Molly, then back here with Molly. So it's been about 16 months here with Molly.
I have other children but they want everything to work out perfectly here so they don't have to worry about me. I realized writing this post that I really don't have anyone safe to talk to about this. Don't forget, if I go in a nursing home, there goes their inheritance. I have enough income to live alone, but they would have to sell my hobby farm and they don't want to do that since it's increasing in value. So now I still have to pay for the upkeep on the farm and can't afford to live elsewhere.
My son is stuck between a rock and a hard place. He really has to side with his wife or his life is (you know).
