[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Their marriage ended. Your mother is no longer responsible for your father and she doesn't owe it to you to take him on. Do what you can for your father to the extent you can, as his child. It's as if he was a widower. This doesn't have anything to do with you mother anymore.[/quote]

Disagree. We are dealing with this too. My dad is off dating and the kids to deal with mom. I think he sensed the health stuff. What I regret is not spelling this stuff out before the split. Now the whole family is in chaos. My parents see in their seventies. They should have "finished the gig"--found a way to live separate but still together. Now it is too late but thought I would share. The kids should have sat down with the parents before. What I would do is talk to mom and ask for help. This is her spouse of many years. If she says no I would tell her to remember she may have medical stuff herself someday.[/quote]

You are mind-bogglingly entitled and selfish. You still believe, like a child, that your parents only exist to service your needs. Your parents can't possibly have real feelings like you do, and so must serve a life sentence together to make your life easier. Good luck in the future, when you or friends may consider divorce. Maybe you'll remember your callous "finish the gig" attitude and be rightly appalled.[/quote]
