Dad is in hospital near us - Down South. They came to visit, we realised he had an infection and he ended up being admitted. So now, we are awaiting his move into residential / nursing care. Mum was in the process of selling their house Up North to move to 15 mins from us. We are now stuck. Her new place isn't available until Jan. So she's living with us.
It is polite to say we not getting along. She is sobbing, full on sobbing throughout the day and night. She is being unkind to me, and making sarcastic, unkind, unhelpful comments criticising my parenting - to my Husband who is utterly shocked and doesn't know what to say to her.
I cannot imagine what it must be like to lose your Husband but him still be alive. I cannot imagine what it must be like to feel homeless. I cannot imagine what it's like to be in our house where we run to a schedule for all the school clubs and activities.
But what I do know, is that this is going to have a permanent affect upon our relationship if we go on like this for the next three months. Help me. How do we navigate this together? Do we set rules? What do we do?
