Sad...

Since my partner, got ill and had his stroke...........I had been at his side almost everyday. But when it came time for his discharge, I realized that I did not have the legal authority to put him in a nursing or convalescent home. I am not equipped to handle a person that has to be watched like a 2 yr. old child. I can't be a care giver, to someone who will not accept my help in the manner it would be offered. So, I notified the hospital that I would be unable to bring him to my home, because I was unable to take care of his needs. I told them that his next of kin, was his brothers and sisters and they would be the one's to decide where and what to do with him. I have been bombarded with mean and pleading calls and it's very hard to maintain, my composure. I love this person, but I can't be responsible, for another stroke, should he get mad at me and his blood pressure shoot up again...........I'm so sad........and don't know what to do.
