too much to bear

I wish.

I wish that I was filthy rich, not because of my own interest but to help someone I love. I wish I could own that power some people have but misuse them wrongly. So many wishes, and yet I still can't do anything within my limits.

I can never understand how children are brought up to become fine adults, and then they turn their backs on their parents - finding them troublesome when they are getting older, making decision to throw them in nursing homes or some even go into lawsuit to extort money/property from their parents.

Perhaps every family have a story to tell, their own set of problems to deal with that we outsiders may never understand or see this ugly situation in a different light. I'm not one to judge. Yes sometimes, the care and assistance is more sufficient in nursing homes but that should be the next option and not the FIRST. But when it comes to within my own family, I am so utterly disappointed and disheartened when a decision like this happens. As much as I want to hate or dislike the way certain adults act and think, we don't really have a say, and we are not financially stable to have that power to change things and have a different outcome because we are still the children.

How do you go to sleep every night after you throw your parents into a nursing home just because you find them troublesome, or whatever selfish reasons you have? I can't. I can never ever think of wanting to send my parents anywhere as long as I'm still around. How could anyone bear to do that when our parents brought us up since we were little without complaints? I won't even think of considering this option unless I do not have a choice. How would your parents feel when they watch their own children send them away instead of taking care of them if they are able to?

Apologies if this post was a little emotional.

My heart just aches so much after hearing the news.
