Caregiving is very isolating

I care for my 77 yo husband who was officially diagnosed 3 years ago and has had symptoms for 5 years. He used to have a good group of friends that he would golf and fish with but those friends have faded away. I get it but what really bothers me is his kids never spend time with him. This is a second marriage for us both and his kids were adults when we married. His kids never invite him to spend time with them. Having some time away from him would do wonders for my psyche but it never happens and I feel isolated at home with him. And the kicker is when he dies, his money all goes to his kids. After 24 years of marriage, I get nothing. It’s not all about the money but it does cause me a bit of angst at times.
