Ivan - Your experience with your three caregivers must have been a terrible blow. The "betrayal" by CG #1 must have been the worst - particularly if you didn't see it coming. Had you had any previous little hints that he felt that way? It won't seem like it now, but of course you're better off having him out of your life! No one needs to entrust his "care and feeding" to someone with that attitude. Then with the other two CGs "deserting" too, right at that time, I know it added insult to injury. Please hang in there, and remember that you have many, many friends on this list who are thinking of you at this difficult time. Warmly, Margie Swindler cg for Dick, 52/15 [log in to unmask]
