Advice Columns from Dear Abby, Dear Annie and more
An woman writes Dear Abby, seeking advice about her husband who wants to sell their house to move in and take care of his parents.
My husband wants us to sell our home and move in with his parents. He says that way we can take care of them both with the caregivers who are there most of the day. He works full time and says the burden will mostly fall on me. Should I agree to this? Your father-in-law could live longer than six months, becoming increasingly dependent upon physical care. When he’s gone, your mother-in-law’s mental health will diminish, and she will become increasingly helpless until her demise. People have been known to suffer with Alzheimer’s for many years. If you sell your home and move in with the in-laws, you may have some money, but you will have no freedom -- and, if this proves to be too much for you, you may feel trapped.
