[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also bristle at taking away things from them - if someone has capacity, you cannot do that. I am simultaneously touched that you took the time to share what’s been helpful to you but I also find some of it a little bit offensive. Maybe because I’m 55 and not so far from my 60s. And maybe because I work with elderly and have many people in my life who are still vibrant and active into their 80s.[/quote] Good points. OP was very blunt, truly so. Do wonder if, as someone else mentioned early on in the thread, that he may have more expectations of care because his wife covered that for him when she was alive - I see that. The wife is dead and now the husband expects his adult children, especially female. to handle all the needs. That is not always the case as I know with my own relatives, but it really hurts when I see a friend managing children and as well a dad who offers no help.[/quote]
