The team on here 5-7yrs ago were lovely as both my parents deteriorated , then mum died and dad came to a care home near me then he died …..

My parents were more husbands grand generation than his parents. I thought we’d have while.

They came for Xmas. I love them. They are good in laws. Covid times have aged them loads 😢. MIL has awful breathing issues ( that FIL doesn’t really notice 😩) that no cause has been sorted yet for , and they are both going off a bit cognitively.

Today I went to put my Xmas gifts away and I’ve realised they didn’t get me a pressie- everyone else had a book and CD 😩😩😩😩 they’ve just forgot me.

( husband says I must have been included in his but I have zero interest in Schubert quartets and the score of the same , unlike him😂)

Things like that just break your heart don't they - when you know that six/twelve months ago it would be inconceivable for them to do that.

It’s so hard. My MIL completely missed both sons Birthdays that are a few days apart. We would never mention it but she would be horrified to realise.

She’s so lovely and spent her whole life being super organised and looking after everyone and it’s heartbreaking to see her like a shell of her old self.

Missing birthdays was the first sign of dementia for us. I could almost understand MIL missing mine, but then she missed DH's too and I knew something was very wrong.
