[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother took away her mother's car and my father took away his father's car. In both cases, my grandparents were belligerent about this issue with their respective child until their dying days. They never let it go and brought it up at every opportunity.

DH took away his Dad's car after some mystery dents and a fall that put him in assisted living. He talked about it for 3 or 4 years but less angrily than my grandparents. Now that dementia has him, we don't hear about it anymore.

This is yet another thankless elder care task you have to manage. Stay strong![/quote]

This seems like such a massive issue, and there needs to be a better way to go about it. It should be easier to report ones relative to the DMV, or have the doctor coordinate with them. It should not be this terrible, long lasting battle between parent and child. Why is there no process for this in our society? It is literally a life and death issue[/quote]

Blame the AARP.[/quote]
