[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He can also move to very low contact and learn the grey rock method. Tons of articles and books about this. They both helped me a lot over the years.  Still, sad to say, the day my mother dies I will let out a huge sigh of relief. 50 years of dealing with a narcissistic, depressed, control freak has been hard. The day I moved away from her was the best day of my life. And the guilt tripping is unreal. I hope he does what he needs to protect himself. Adults don't OWE their parents anything, even though most boomers will insist loudly that they do. Nope. Good luck. I know it's hard. I would support him in any way you can. People who were raised by loving, mentally healthy parents have no idea the damage that comes from growing up in a dysfunctional household.[/quote]

Boomer here. I came from a dysfunctional family. It was hell growing up and hell when our crazy parents got old and sick. Caring for mentally and physically sick old people almost broke me. They are passed and in hindsight I wish I had cut ties earlier in life. I felt obligated to fix them, care for them but I shouldn't have. I would have been better off to cut ties with them in my 20's instead of being dragged down for decades. Cut ties and luve a healthy life.[/quote]
