Hello. FIL luckily survived a heart attack with a stent but obv can’t look after his bed bound wife any more.
he needs to move in with us while they find a house near us.
im very nervous-DH at work, so the majority will fall to me. He’s OK, but there’s only so many hours I can listen to his memories, he is getting forgetful. It will also impact teenage son- so I need to somehow handle that so son doesn’t hide in his room/ feel pushed out. And I don’t go mad. I’m looking for classes etc he can do, as don’t want him to feel a burden/ useless
any tips please! ?!

Even if they find a house near you who is going to be looking after the bed bound wife?

Why can't they have carers come in?

You will regret him coming to live with you. It's not as simple and easy as you think.

Who will be looking after FIL's bed bound wife while he stays with you? Why is your husband not taking time off and just leaving it all to you?
