[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what do you want to do? Not should, want.[/quote]

Wrong.  She needs to go because it is what she [u]should[/u] do.  Enough with this thought that people only have to do what they want to do.  OP has a responsibility to show up for her father.  If she doesn't do that then she is a complete failure as a person.[/quote]

Woah, that was a response. Way to bring your own baggage to a question. I asked because OP had asked what she *should* do we were all speculating on what OP *wanted* to do. I just wanted to know.

However, your response kind of makes me glad OP hasn't said anything. [/quote]

LOL.  My "baggage" is that people need to own up to their responsibilities, like honoring your father and mother.  That includes visiting a dying father regardless of the fact that he won't "know" it because of his dementia.  People like you, PP, make me weep for our society.  [/quote]

If she could visit dad without seeing mom, I’d agree — but it sounds like a mother who blames the child for dads death doesn’t need to be “honored” by said child. That feels like self flagellation. [/quote]
