Do not assume because it has not come up that your parent or loved one is not full of concern about being in the way. Discuss that it will not always be easy on him or you, but that you love him. This will lead into conversations or at least open the door for them later. Try to keep a routine and daily schedule in several areas of life. Be sure to seek medical advice for prolonged or major depressive moods.
Depression can kill.
And above all, try to enjoy your time together. Browning Barbara Richardson lives on 13 acres in Indiana with her husband and three children, and a dog and cat. She loves fishing, cartooning, writing, animals, cooking, bread baking, and her family, not specifically in that order. I take pride as well in living within my income and not being a slave to debt.
