[quote=Anonymous]If she's the type to have no friends and hyperfocus on one person or activity, it's going to be extremely difficult for her to relinquish control. Because this is what this is - a battle for control. Maybe you'll get through to her if you catch her making caregiving mistakes that affect your father's wellbeing - such as forgetting a dose of meds, or giving a double dose, not flushing his line properly and then an infection develops, etc... But until she crashes or makes a serious mistake, I don't see her agreeing to let go. You have to wait for that moment and step in.[/quote]
