[quote=Anonymous]Start therapeutic lying to your dad. Change the passwords to the accounts and when he tries to get in —“OMG, something is wrong. Let me look into it”. A few days later, he brings it up, you say “Dad, you already paid that.” Checkbooks can get “lost”. Credit cards can get “stolen”. Companies can “force” you to use automatic bill pay and e-bills. You tell them what they need to hear to keep them calm while doing what needs to be done to keep them, the family, and finances safe. He looks like an adult. But he no longer has the brain of an adult. He no longer has the ability to do proper risk assessments or make good logical decisions. But he will never acknowledge this because you need a fully functioning brain to be able to do an assessment of your own brain. [/quote]
