[quote=Anonymous]My parents tried to do this and kept saying they had the right to live out their days as they chose BUT like OP's - their 'independence' relied on me and siblings doing shopping, driving, errands. And it wasn't safe. They drove for way too long until accident (luckily just a collision) and not the 'what if you hit a child scenario I pleaded with them to consider w/near blindness and extreme hearing loss. Setting them up with a driver was declined. They did do peapod finally. I had a friend who had gone through this w/her parents and she pushed and pushed them and they finally agreed to half time help that soon became full time-24 once my mom died. It wasn't independent living-it depended on others propping up unsafe and unsustainable conditions. I pray I am not as selfish as them!! [/quote]
