[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dang I could see something like this happening to my dad, and NO, I’m not a terrible daughter. His wife is 20 years younger than him and does all his care - at her insistence. They live 1,000 miles away from me. He’s in physical decline (Parkinsons). I call him every few days. If he didn’t pick up, it would still take me a few days to get worried, because he has a wife/caregiver. If I didn’t hear from him in, say, 3 days, then I’d reach out to her. Probably give her 24 hours to respond and if I didn’t hear back then, I’d ask for a welfare check. So easily could be a week.

I don’t feel like a terrible daughter. I feel like I’m doing the best I can with a declining dad whose wife sort of isolates him, and doesn’t encourage any relationship between him and me.

Not defending his daughters, but also not seeing them as the villains. [/quote]

I agree. When your absentee dad marries someone your age and likely is going to leave all money to her, why would you care about him? 
His kids are probably happy now that they don’t have to deal with the wifey anymore and can just inherit things [/quote]
