I’ve lived in this world long enough, so I’ve had enough experience. I am 54 years old. All this time my husband and I have been wandering around renting apartments. We used to have a one-room apartment, but we had to sell it to save my father-in-law from a devastating disease. The children had gone to their own cities, and each had his own life…
I had my mother. She had a stroke a few years ago. I treated her, nursed her back to health, and when she recovered, I hired a nurse for her. I had to go to work, so I didn’t have time to take care of her properly. The nurse took my mother’s pension and did not ask for any extra money.
There were no conflicts with my mother. She was not offended and approved of my decision. It was clear to a fool that I had to pay rent, utilities, buy her medicine. Without work there was no way.
When she got worse, my husband and I even moved in with her. We didn’t move from the bed for a second. And then what happened?
After my mother died, we got a call from a lawyer. When I went to the meeting, I found out that my mother had left the entire inheritance to the nurse. That pretty girl who pretended to be kind and fluffy and never asked for anything. She brainwashed my mother well and left us at the broken trough.
Be careful when hiring a caregiver for your elderly parents. Don’t let your guard down and don’t trust strangers.
