I am single, nearly 48, not likely to remarry (although anything could happen). I notice that most caregivers are either spouses or nurses, or other workers. My children have expressed the wish to take care of me eventually, when I need it. However, my daughter has 6 children and is very busy now and will be for a while (the youngest is only 1 & 1/2). My son is 23 now and although he tries, he is not ready, or is frightened, or just cannot cope with the reality that mom will be disabled someday. I have never been one to ask anyone for help for anything. Any help in this matter would be greatfully accepted. Marling McReynolds [log in to unmask]
