Confused feeling my parents are getting old

Valgal

My mum and dad both live apart but still in the same town, both in there 70s.

They are both less able but not willing to accept help from outsiders.

I can not do it all, mentally and physically unable and they cant seem to grasp that.

I struggle to go out alone, im at the point im not going out at all.

Trying to hide from it all I guess and I know its not going to solve things.

No matter how hard I try and make them see there is no changing there ways.

Feeling  trapped and uneasy will life get any easier.

I dont want to come across as selfish im just scared of them getting old and I dont

know how to deal with it.

  • Many times ive watched my dad been taken away in the ambulance, I tried my best, there was no care put in place not help, I had to man lift him on my own when its a 2 person job by nurses. The ambulance lady was very understanding and said its not fair on your dad its degrading for you both.  Im done I cant keep going like this....
