I am 67 years old. I have a husband who has cronic back pain for the last 30 years Because of that, he is a drug addict and has been to a few drug rehab facilities. I don't doubt he has pain. But I've been dealing with this issue for so long already. Of course, he's retired. but I am still working part time 2 days a week, 3 hours a day. Nothing to live on, but just enough to add just a little extra. At this stage of my life I am not able to get a full time job. I don't have ANY relatives left. I'm an only child (so is my husband). I do have 2 grown children one live several states away and has his own life and career, The other once, although just a few cities away, has her own daughter and life. If I were to leave, there's no place for me to go to, no job to substain me, and I loose all my medical insurance.
In a week, I'm going up to visit my son and my daughter and her family are coming with me. Everything has been fine up until now. Because I didn't buy him a gallon of ice cream when I went shopping, and instead I through I would surprise him with a flavor he raved about. Well, he just went blastic. Yelling, screaming, threatening about how he wanted a GALLON of CHOCOLATE ice cream. We haven't been talking since yesterday, and now he acting like he's on death's doorway. He did something of the same last year exactly a week before I went up to visit my son. That time he was able to be admitted to the hospital and I was able to get him into a short term rehab/nursing facility for the 2 weeks I would not be home. This year, I doubt he'll be admitted into the hospital. He can't be left alone for 2 weeks, (he can't drive and I'll have the car)
Do I miss my time/vacation? What can I do about him. Where can I take/put him for 2 weeks --- That's my main question.
