[quote=Anonymous]It's easy for your mom to say you don't owe him anything. To her he was just a sperm donor. You are going to have a lot of different feelings, since he is your dad. I think that your asking him to move closer so you could be more involved was generous. If this solution is amenable to you, I would push him again to move closer. I think by conventional definition anyone over the age of 65 is "elderly". My parents are both in their early 70s, and while not suffering from dementia, I have noticed cognitive and personality differences once they hit 70+. If he doesn't want to move closer, I'd ask him how you can help that doesn't involve driving there. Maybe you can find him a nurse to help out at home? There should be a social worker at the hospital. You could reach out to see what the options are if he has no help at home upon release.[/quote]
