[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It never ends well.    It is a very hard part of life.   How much do you respect your parent and how they want to live it?  If this parent is thinking clearly, maybe it is a sane choice.   What is your goal?[/quote]

Great question.  This is now a pattern of not heeding medical advice and then going back into the hospital, coming back out, not taking meds, going to get valve replaced, not taking meds and going back into hospital, now leaving rehab within 48 hours Covid positive.  I no longer respect the parents thinking and do not support these bad decisions.  At my limit.[/quote]

PP, they become toddlers, with or without dementia. They're grasping for control in any way they can, because control of everything is slipping out of their hands. A lot of people just can't handle this. At the core of it, they are dying. It's not really a matter of "respecting" their thinking as having compassion for them[/quote]

You make sense about the control…there’s a selfishness I cannot respect about not heeding medical advice and acting haughty as though you know better.  There are other people that would be grateful for the free medical care they’re receiving and would take it seriously.[/quote]
