[quote=Anonymous]No, OP, it’s not selfish to want to be paid for expenses that you’ve had related to your father’s care. If you can, keep a log of your expenses, and, when he is able, talk with him about it. It would be great to either get his specific approval, or, as another PP has done, have him give you a reasonable amount to repay you for your extra expenses. If you don’t think he will be able to consent in the near future, I’m not sure what to tell you, but definitely keep meticulous records if you’re going to reimburse yourself without his active consent. I, personally, would not consider getting reimbursed for time spent with him or advocating for him, unless you have to take unpaid leave from your job to do this. In this type of situation, I’d either let it go, or speak with an attorney about handling it correctly. OP, I hope you have the support that you need as you’re taking on these responsibilities for your dad. [/quote]
