[quote=Anonymous]OP, if he has health insurance, many providers will cover aging in place visits, e.g., install shower grab bars, make sure rugs aren't a slipping hazard, etc. The AARP probably has information on this as well. You are also reacting way too much on your kid's behalf. Think of it as being at the doctor's office and the nurse says, "Time for a blood draw," and you gasp in horror and go rigid. Does that reaction help a kid relax and roll with the situation? No. So many times, parents don't have their own reactions in check and are projecting a lot of anxiety/disappointment on their kids. Also, if your FIL really is "a national expert on this one hobby," my bet is that there is an association in DC on this hobby. (DC has usually has the most associations geographically b/c everyone wants to be close to the seat of power.) He could always look to volunteering/re-careering in this field locally.[/quote]
