I really appreciate all the kind words. I am pretty much detaching from the situation because it frustrates me so much. I am so thankful I have Hubby and my sisters to make this all more bearable.

I'm actually more at peace with it now. It's becoming very clear my stepdad is in his final days, so the January 15th deadline becomes a non-issue (it doesn't help that was the date of my parent's anniversary...). Now I'm just counting the hours/days when my sisters and I can collect the remaining i...

All you need is a parole violation and your problem is solved. If he got caught twice he'll get caught again. :pirate: I'm sure there will be another parole violation. We thought about (sort of) going over to my stepdad's house on the 15th with my teenage daughter in the living room so there is min...

Well, this just stinks big time and I can't even begin to imagine the heartache you and your family are experiencing. Sounds like your step-dad is trying to solve several problems at the same time - having someone to care for him and giving the offender a place to go upon release. I'm not sure I wo...

My stepbrother cannot have contact with any minors. There are no restrictions on where he can live in terms of close to schools, etc. I think the discharge planner idea is a good one. The sad fact is my stepdad has plenty of cash for a paid caregiver and other combinations of family besides this sit...

My stepdad is hanging on with a prognosis of 1-2 months with home hospice care. His daughter-in-law (wife of my stepbrother) has taken on most of the day-to-day caregiving duties and is staying with him more or less full time. Various other caregivers (my family included) help daily with meals, clea...

Thanks, all. I'm sure we'll figure something out. And hospice will provide us a list of caregiver services so we can pick someone to help fill in the gaps. I may or may not be lots of help (Hubby is actually my stepdad's durable power of attorney so has been doing most of this while I hold down the ...

Our options may be diminshed. The doc let us know today that my stepdad may not be a good candidate for the chemo because of his poor existing help. Any advice is still helpful. When my mom was released to hospice, she had my stepdad 24x7, so this is weird territory for us. He has other natural chil...

I think the real question here is who gets custody of the Frozen Concoction maker.

So, my stepdad is sick. Really sick. He has incurable, stage 4 prostate cancer that has matastacized and evolved into a small-cell cancer type in his lymph nodes. His options are essentially +/- 2 months with no treatment or +/- 9 months (70% chance) with aggressive chemo treatments. He has been hos...

I had a great time in Denver, but it was too short. I should have either left Las Vegas Sunday instead of Monday or stayed in Denver yesterday and come home today. It was great to see everyone, some again and some for the first time. Great seeing Penny & E again for the first time since they go...

Is the absolute worst song ever.

I don't like it either.

It is, and I'm exhausted.

Oh Timmah! You made my day!

FYI--there are 41 pages worth of posts with the word "spork" in it.

It all started when I didn't have a utensil to eat my lunch. I had a spoon but needed a fork.

I posted about it on BN and things went drastically wrong...

Have to say we're looking pretty tentative for this. :-? We've run the gamut of family issues lately and are taking care of my husband's learning disabled brother since he wrecked his car and his parents are out of the country (means lots of driving him to/from work, appointments, and school at time...
