For the past few years my father has been suffering from alcohol related demitasse and Alzheimer's. I moved him closer a few years ago but he has still been living alone. I have had a nurse that comes in a cleans and such and I have a locked timed device for meds. I have dealt with the guilt if having to move him from his home to an apartment but he has no one else. I have gotten used to him not knowing who I am or confusing me for either one of his brothers or his father. I would guess the last time he saw his brothers was at his fathers funeral 5+ years ago. They have dealt with me concerning his affairs and they avoid him. Recently he has begun to wander. While he lives in a nice neighborhood he is simply a block from some less than prime housing. Thankfully no one has taken advantage of or robbed or beaten him. I have gotten several calls about him being out and about after midnight and when I get him he is clueless. Last night he fell looking for his truck. Even though he hasn't had a license in 13 years he has continued to drive and wrecked his last truck over a year ago against my wishes or request. I have to admit he is more than I can handle. I deal with the guilt of moving him closer to me. I live with him accusing everyone of hoodooing him because he doesn't remember. I live with the guilt of knowing he is going. To a facility where he will not be free to come and go. I know he will be safe. Has anyone else had to make this decision? How did you deal with the guilt?
