[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm in a similar situation and feel your pain. I've found there isn't much I can do - I can't forcibly move a parent into assisted living, and it's really upsetting to hear my mom cry every time I call (in my case the genders are reversed). For my own mental health, I have forced myself to step back - my dad has all of my suggestions, I talk to them regularly and always pick up the phone when they call, but I'm not going to nag - my dad needs to want to make a change. I figure there will be some precipitating event that forces the issue. I did, however, get an AirTag and had him drop it in my mom's purse - if there is something your dad takes with him when he leaves, you might want to try this. I also subscribed them to a meal delivery service. So, even though I can't solve the big problem, I can solve some small ones.[/quote]
