[quote=Anonymous]Also, keep in mind he may expect you to be his entire life and the neediness can drain you. I say this as someone who had a very independent parent and didn't expect that. If you moving him to assistant living, visit, but not so frequently that you enable him to stay stuck. Allow him to have some discomfort so he will make new friends.Remind yourself that using social skills with new people (as opposed to your family where you don't have to be on your best) exercises his brain. New friends will contribute to good health and longevity. Don't be surprised if he tries to guilt and shame you even if that wasn't his thing before. Good luck.[/quote]
