[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s been a year and they would like to make the visits less frequent, possibly because of the upcoming surge. Weekly is quite a commitment. [/quote] Yes, that's exactly what happened. My dad understands (he called me from the car afterward), but now he is left without a weekly touchstone that he truly valued. How can I support him without engineering his social life?[/quote] Encourage him to try other venues to meet people like a senior center. I would also push for a bereavement support group if he needs it or therapy. He should not be this reliant on his daughter for emotional support. Even in adulthood you cannot be his best friend of parent.[/quote] Yup, that was my question: How to support him without getting overly enmeshed. [/quote]
