My Question of the Day for 25 November 2009
My Question of the Day: You haven’t seen your other parent (sometimes it’s the moms who leave) since you were very young or not at all. The parent who raised you calls to let you know the estranged parent contacted him/her out of the blue and is in a very bad way. S/he is in need of constant supervision, s/he has no friends to help him/her and no money to pay a nurses’ service or move into a facility that offers constant care. Would you allow your newly-found parent to move in with you and care for his/her needs?

LikeDislikeNo. A Caregiver is a full time job requiring professionally licensed training. That person would need to see reams of specialists to get the best of care and routing into a positive position in life. The first step is a Journey. If they have had a poor life, whose responsibility it is to care for him/her?

LikeDislikeNo. But I would exhaust all possibilities to secure funds to pay for whatever facility that is adequately able and willing to provide the parent long term care.

LikeDislikeI would. There’s always room for family no matter how estranged.
