Re: Wife wants to go back to her home

Hello.<br>I had a similar problem, what worked
for me was i told her that both her mum and dad were
busy but would come to see her ASAP.<br>Sometimes told
her at what jobs they were doing.<br>Hope this works
for you, you may have to modify your answers to
fit.<br>One idea may work for a while, or not work at
all.<br>this is a guessing game at times.<br>Dorothy wanted to
go home all the time to distract her we went to
everywhere she had lived, which did not help.<br>She liked
the car ride, and used that many times.<br>Finally i
figured out home was a safe place,<br>don't we all want
that at times.<br>Hope this helps.<br>All the best to
you & yours.<br>Welcome to our club.
