[quote=Anonymous]I was anxious about my dad falling or doing dumb things. My dad told me to cut out the worry, and I had a good cry. But what I detached was the need to control the situation. I’d visit him (out of town) but set boundaries and did minimal stuff. I focused on just sitting and reminiscing with him. He had dementia and would often call a lot. But I practiced patience. He was less abusive to me than when I was a kid, so your mileage may vary, but if you stop worrying about the future, it might help you. [/quote]
