[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think maybe you’re depressed. My father said similar things when he was around 65, that life was basically over and he was just waiting to die, despite being physically healthy. Then he remarried and moved to a new place and is totally happy and thriving at 80 now.[/quote] Not OP, but I think maybe you haven't spent over a decade dealing with declining parents as they become hostile, anxious, combative and demeaning all while having so many emergencies your head is spinning. I will not do this to my own children. We all admit child abuse is bad right, yet people have such mixed feelings about an elderly parent (who may or may not yet fit dementia dx) exploding at his/her adult child and making their life a living hell. Some elderly eat their own young. I want my adult children to enjoy their lives.[/quote]
