We both have two married children and all four seem to understand and approve of the situation. Neither of our spouses know us any more so nobody will get hurt. We both go regularly together to see Kathleen and Eric and ensure they are being properly cared for. I feel we have nothing to hide. Everyone we have met so far thinks the arrangement is great and all wish us well.
People really are very understanding.
Perhaps this article will give hope to anyone finding themselves in a similar situation to us. May I thank everybody I have met at the PDSG meetings, and my Internet contacts, for their help and advice about how to cope with caring at home. This proved to be invaluable. Having someone at home now to talk to, that understands things, has made all the difference and we both feel that we should spend as much of our time caring for one another. I would like to introduce myself and update you on the project.
