[quote=Anonymous]I do not believe that you have an “obligation”. I drive 3 hours to do things for my parents because we have a mutual loving relationship. Not because I am obligated. Obligation breeds resentment. And you already seem resentful. You can certainly offer suggestions as a previous poster suggested…try setting up this service Dad or what about that service.. Everyone’s relationship is different and relationships are built over time. You all have the relationship that developed as it was fed. Unfortunately for Father, the old adage “you reap what you sow” may come back in a way he doesn’t like. His selfishness and lack of caring resulted in this current relationship. You can do as much or not as your heart moves you. Again, there is no obligation..IMO.[/quote]
