No one can destroy your life more than a toxic family member.

My dad has six adult children and two adult grandchildren, but none of us are willing to take him into our homes permanently. [/quote]

Asian cultures, which cherish their elders, put us to shame. The modern U.S. is such a selfish society. [/quote]

I'm from one Asian country and my husband is from another. You're wrong. You only know the stereotype. My two grandparents went to affordable nursing homes, paid for by my grandfather's WWII veteran pension and my father's supplemental help. My husband's grandmother retired to a Buddhist nunnery (extremely spartan and not for everyone). My medically fragile MIL, thanks to my husband's wealth, has been able to stay in her own home with 24/7 aides and nurses.

No elder in our families have ever moved in with their children. Asian cultures DO NOT cherish their elders - there used to be the social expectation that elders would be looked after by their children no matter what, but if they're cantankerous, don't fool yourself. Their kids won't want them either!
