This was a very nice place we visited today and most importantly, it appears they'll take her.
She loved the place and then came home and shit her depends and started crying about "nobodies going to give me the help I need" She has worn her welcome out with me and wife.
It there or straight to a nursing home. I want my life back and so does my wife.
Of all the callous dumbass things I put on here, I wish you and your wife the best.
And the monster in law.

Although the in-laws have passed on, I certainly miss them more than I miss the ex-wife. Both of you will probably have some regrets over putting her in a home, but it's probably for the best in her condition. You will get your own lives back, at least.

Again, best of luck with this.

My father died when I was in my fourth tour. My mother died in 2000. They were never able to become a pain in the ass.
My In-laws lived into their eighties. My FIL went quick. My wife spent the final year of my MIL's life caring for her in her condo. She had dementia and started to walk out the front door and dropped dead.

I guess, compared to what you're dealing with, I was lucky. I hope some of it rubs off on you.

I suppose I was lucky, too. My Dad died of cancer at 57, and was never hospitalized. My Mom died of cancer in her late 70s, and only spent a week or two in the hospital, living independently by herself until then. The in-laws were in a nice assisted living place until the end. The GF's Dad went to the hospital with stomach pain, it was a ruptured duodenal ulcer, they said he wouldn't survive the operation, he went home to his assisted living place and he died the next day.

When I go, I want to get hit by a beer truck. Good local beer, not that Buttwiper shit.

My mother lived into her late 80's. Went to sleepand didn't wake up. I was overseas.
My father died at 55 and I was in the army. Did not hear about it until 10 years later.
He abandoned us when I was 10. I hate that I did not get to watch him die.
Mother in law? I might go before her......
