[quote=Anonymous]Well I have been going through this for at least 12 years. My parents, late 70s, want to sell the house, want to move closer to me (the only child). Yet they never actually DO anything to move toward that goal except argue with each other about stupid stuff (which I was having to redirect or diffuse the discussion...I refuse to be their therapist anymore now) or reference the information I pulled from them six years ago.

I think a PP has it right, they are just too overwhelmed and tired to actually do anything. And my parents were never very proactive people in the first place. I've realized if I want it to happen I will need to do everything. And at this point that time is coming because my dad's mobility is getting worse by the day and they live in a house with tons of stairs. They'll be like, we should have done something ten years ago...well YES YOU SHOULD HAVE. I don't say that obviously but I do have a lot of anger about the situation.

I just want them to be safe and happy. But they are adults and choosing their life.[/quote]
