[quote=Anonymous]OP, I would do everything possible to keep them married at this point. I agree with others that encouraging your mom to find a care situation for your dad (either at home or in a facility) would go a huge way in helping her. Ask her if you can take over figuring out the best way to deal with dad, then research and present options. My mom just retired (she is 80) and is resentful that my dad has begun to show cognitive decline and now she will have to deal with him in "retirement". They have plenty of assets and fat pensions with excellent medical benefits. She could have retired at 65 and been enjoying retirement for the last 15 years with my dad perfectly healthy. At least she isn't trying to divorce him! I try to just listen so she can blow off steam. I suggested a therapist, but she thinks that is a waste of $.[/quote]
