Yertle is camera shy. He always wants attention until the camera comes out.

I have a problem . Maybe if I write about it I can find some solutions.
#1, Im scared. Tom is getting worse fast. Yes, I have had all the time in the world to think this through but Im not any closer now then I was 10 yrs. ago. The thing I didnt factor in was my own health. His ulcer is taking his ability to walk. Along with ongoing pain in his feet.
One project at a time right ? Its a roller coaster. He always did dishes. and now he hurts to walk to the bathroom. It order for him to use his riding chair he needs my bathroom and furniture needs to be moved. A lot of furniture. In the meantime, I cant bend to do anything. There is cat puke under my dining room table . Been there since yesterday. Thats normally my job and I havent told anyone its there because Tom cant clean it and Robert wont. I wait for company. :( This is nasty, I dont want to live this way. Roberts aversion for water extends to dishes. I am going to buy him some gloves and try again. He has picked up on some chores. Im happy for that but not enough . I am not going to have him take care of this whole house including his mom and dad. Its not fair to him. He does all heavy stuff, garbage, mail, his laundry, he cooks for everyone once a week. It has to be something very simple . If you have read this far give me an emoji face. I think we just need more help here. I dont know what to do.
Sorry for the long rant.
You know, I asked my pain dr. How does one learn to cope with pain? I mean, knowing that every single day for the rest of your life you are going to hurt. How do others deal with that ? Her answer, One day at a time.

:hugs Talk to those social service people... the one's that got you your Nancy. If they can't help, they might have some idea about who can. They had more services to offer than just house cleaning if I remember right.

The only other advice I have is to share your feelings with Robert. Tell him you're scared. Maybe he will step up.

(Rant Alert-)
Pardon my French, but pain dr's answer is CRAP and a cop out... she just can't justify why you have to suffer because boneheads across the country are OD-ing, but she makes damn sure you pee in that cup before she doles out a few pain pills, JUST IN CASE you are an addict. She's known you for how long now? She can STUFF her trite, stupid little "one day at a time." It's heartless, that system. Not right at all.

"Possibly"? Either things are REALLY cheap up there, he (you) have a really big wallet or he's going to have a few roommates.

The "possibly" was referring to renting an actual house vs a condo or apartment, not whether he will have roommates; he will. Most cases it works out cheaper to have 3 roommates in a 4 bedroom house than one roommate in a 2br apartment. Houses are roomier too and have garages, which he really wants so he can get on with rebuilding his 1974 Honda Goldwing.
 
Robert isnt going to be able to live on his own. He will have help come in every day. Its already been arranged .
Theres just so much fighting you can do to make things seem normal then it comes to a point where you have to accept its not normal and it never will be.
