[quote=Anonymous]OP, you have posted before. You got all kinds of good advice the last time. Seems like you haven't bothered to follow through on any of those options so now you couch it differently and are back again. It seems like what you want it someone's blessing that it's OK to refuse to help your elderly parent. You don't need that from some strangers on DCUM. Whatever your reasons are you are fully within your rights to refuse to help your parent. So do that. Stop coming up with excuses to justify your choice (they don't call, they are estranged, the house isn't right, etc.) First - Did you point-blank tell your father that you cannot help him and he can not live with you anymore? If not, why not? If you are having problems with guilt about that decision then seek out a professional counselor who will probably tell you the same thing: you have no legal obligation to help your parent nor have them live with you, no matter how they treated you.
