[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are in Europe and refuse to move closer. Am visiting and they clearly need lots of help though still independent. I know before people have said ‘you can’t force them’ but like - what does that actually look like in reality? I can’t just not go for emergencies (of which there will soon be many). Dad is getting breathless on stairs (copd) and cranky and fell asleep in his clothes this eve. If I move back we lose big salaries. What do I do? [/quote] You take a time where you aren't spiraling emotionally and carefully think through the options. You then decide what to do. You know what this looks like in reality. You do nothing and let your dad fall down the stairs, or you move and lose a big salary, or...you put more research into the problem and see what other choices exist.[/quote]
