[quote=Anonymous]We recently moved away from where my only living parent lives to settle in at a less-stressful job for the final years before retirement. We’ve never had a typical relationship (they are borderline) and have always been low-contact. I’m an only child. Recently my parent will fabricate emergencies, but when I get home, I find they are grossly exaggerated or non-existent. I’m not ready to just abandon my parent, but I also can’t run home every time my parent needs attention. They won’t move here or into assisted/retirement living there, and honestly, I’m OK with the refusal to move here. But they are not willing to allow a third party caretaker to get involved in checking on their welfare in these instances. They want ME to fly home; it’s very manipulative. I’m just curious how others have handled this, or if you have any advice. [/quote]
