[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]He is 77 so it does look realistic. [/b]He is kind, smart, funny and tries to live a healthy lifestyle I love him but I must confess: the thought of having to keep an eye on him for decades is kind of depressing. He can live independently but he does need reminders, help with bigger tasks, just general oversight. He is like a teenager I would say. I love him but how do I come to terms with the fact that even when my kid is finally in college I won’t be free? I am not talking about traditional caregiving, it’s the easy part (knock on wood). It’s more about all the mental and emotional labor of keeping his life in order? I just needed it let it all out. Maybe someone has words of wisdom for me [/quote] Just because he’s 77, why do you think that means he will live to 97? This makes no sense.[/quote]
