(written about a month ago, published today)
:::::::::::::::::
So, here we are. In my in-laws home. We have moved.
Yes. After the diagnosis we decided that with all the extra driving up and down to the city, we needed to move closer.
We bought land close to my IL's a few months ago and we are now planning to build a house.
It looks like we may have sold our house as well (post-script: we did - it's gone).
But we needed somewhere to move to before our house was sold. And because we have two dogs and a cat, that is difficult.
My MIL offered some time ago for us to move into their house for the duration of the build, but I was hesitant. They need their space and we need our space. But my MIL is persistent, and she really wants to go travelling in their caravan, but they are tied to the house because of their youngest daughter.
Craig's sister was involved in a car accident many, many years ago. She suffered a closed head injury and has been physically and mentally disabled since then. She lives with and is totally dependent on her parents. So my in-laws ability to travel is very much limited by her presence.
When we started having trouble finding a place to rent, we re-thought our plans to rent a house, and instead took my MIL's offer to stay with them seriously.
So here we are. At my in-laws place. They're planning on leaving on the first of their travels in 3.5 weeks. I think my MIL is excited. My FIL could take it or leave it, but he's needed to drive the car to tow the caravan, so he has to go along.
But of course, there are limitations. Of course.
