> I can't see this ending soon and am mortified of my wishes for it to be so. Euthanasia has gotten a bad rap actually in my book.
This is very normal. If not for yourself, you wish it would end for him.
> Demands are prevalent. Slavery abounds. That's what children are for after all. To do, to obey, to provide....to to to to what???
You are not a slave. You can turn care over to a hospital or whoever else would care for him if you weren't around. There's always an alternative.
> Dememtia has set in with him, and although it provides some comic relief every now and then, it is also tremendously disturbing to watch, and creates a huge fear in me that it will eventually turn violent.
I know how troubling this can be. You end up laughing, then crying. This is very difficult to deal with when you're close to the person.
I hope you get some help soon. It doesn't have to be this way! You CAN get help.
