He was going to, just needed to know where he was living.
Awwww not what he wanted to hear. So sad.
it's sad, I'm sorry ,
well, on the plus side at least he doesn't either have to make a decision or get disappointed
so sorry Sherr.
That is so sad.
Sorry for you all.
That's a shock. I'm sorry to hear that :-(
Sad to hear that, but no recriminations please - estrangements happen.

Take care both.

Himself is 'not himself' - don't know how else to put it. Every family is different, feel so bad for himself, very conflicting.
Just be there for him Sherr, it is all you can do - a very difficult time.

Thank you, xxx
Haven't spoken to you before,but i'd seen your previous thread (my mother had dementia,so i'd "noticed"your question in particular). Am so sorry to hear of this awful outcome. The shock to "himself" must be numbing. Hope you can both get through this awful time x
