[quote=Anonymous]At 89, mom doesn’t have the mental or physical skills to safely operate a car. She’s been evaluated by a driving instructor - who said she should not be allowed to drive under any circumstances - and has been involved in accidents. She went a whole year without having car insurance and didn’t even realize it. Her car days are clearly over but she absolutely refuses to accept it. We have all decided to simply not help her get reinsured, which is keeping her off the streets, but she’s having constant meltdowns about it. It’s all she will talk about. She’s ruminating, obsessing, etc. She won’t accept a car service or any of the alternatives we’ve offered. She just lashes out at everyone. Just keeps INSISTING she can drive and that we are all horrible for not helping her. If you got through this hurdle with your aging parent, how did you do it? [/quote]
