Feel free to stop caring for your elderly parent after ten years.

My mom had a stroke in 2010. I’m going to demand that she stop pretending she can’t walk, bathe herself, dress herself, etc. Enough is enough!

I’m OP of the Last Holiday with MIL thread.

This can be a manipulation and control tactic.

My MIL used this excuse for her own mother and demanded we take off work, rearrange our schedules, don’t take a vacation if it conflicted with her mom’s visit. This could be her last visit! (Grandma made it to 86)

I'll show this thread to my parent with Parkinson's. Thanks for the insight.

Wish we had a separate forum for the people who hate their elders
