[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really OP you don't need to process anything here. Just keep moving forward and help him how you can. This is an opportunity to redefine your relationship without the looming shadow of a crazy mother.

My parents had the same set up except my dad died suddenly of a heart attack leaving the crazy mother behind. Much worse scenario. [/quote]

Thank you so much, PP! How did it turn out after your dad passed?
This has been our potential nightmare scenario for years, we dreaded it so much (my brother and I).

It has become easier for me since I wrote my OP. Dad is becoming more self sufficient it seems, too (I am visiting right now). [/quote]

It was difficult. She redirected her demanding expectations onto me. While I live in the US she lives in the UK. She wanted us to move her out and adapt our house to accommodate her, put her on our health insurance etc. At this point she was diagnosed with a terminal illness. I'm afraid I said no to all of that and she has since passed. [/quote]
