[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Old people tend to have a lot of main character syndrome. They can only hear their own thoughts about anything because they can't easily absorb others viewpoints and tend to blurt their own thoughts aloud. [/quote] This. Plus losing brain plasticity. You can't take it personally and you probably can't fix it. You CAN adjust how you interact with your dad and limit what you share with him by establishing boundaries. In my case, I don't tell my parents about my problems. It makes our relationship more superficial but it also limits their ability to get under my skin. [/quote] Yes I’m already trying to limit what he knows about me but I slip up sometimes or there all these bragging friends of his. I guess it’s work in progress. I think I don’t like the fact that as I hang out with him, my opinion of him is getting less and less positive? I understand it’s old age and all but I can’t change the overall feeling about it.
