thankyou Marlene.  My Dad is so cantakerous no facility would take him.  I interviewed and hired an aide to help Mom, she had a total melt down.  I have asked Dad to increase cleaning lady to every week, so he has 2 hours to go shopping.  he never calls her but is able to order truck parts, and hire a man to help him.  Luckily he does not leave Mom alone or I would have to call protective services on him.  As far as the siblings I post on a closed facebook link how they are doing, and otherwise ignore them.  I am trying to learn to take better care of myself , it is a struggle.  Thankyou again Marlene for your kind words.
