You're right, this is like somebody dumping a poor dog they don't want anymore. I guess she's lucky he didn't just leave her beside the road somewhere.

I know there are a lot of countries where several generations of a family live together. Its normal. I don't think we honor our parents/grandparents in the U.S. the way they should be. The whole family loses.

Nursing homes are usually pretty sad places, but better than being abandoned.

Thank you for caring and being kind to this poor lady.
