[quote=Anonymous]OP I get it. I spent too many years having too much empathy for stubborn and difficult parents and it did me in. Boundaries are your friend. You can tell your dad it's his choice, but if he wants you taking him places, your requirement is a wheelchair. If the emergencies are becoming a major burden you make it clear you will no longer be available to deal with those if he won't take the safety precaution of a wheelchair. Yes, aging is tough. Many things are tough in life. Sandwich generation is incredibly tough too. If you make decisions that strain everyone around you to the max then you need to deal with the consequences that they will eventually have their own limits.[/quote]
