[quote=Anonymous]I am currently in a situation where I take care of an elderly man, as his only daughter lives half the country away. It started out great and we became great friends. Or so I thought. It has reached a point lately where I spend my whole day and evening doing things for him instead of myself. And if it seems I have too much free time, then he will invent menial tasks. My wellbeing, mental health, rest and family life are non-existent in his thinking. It has now reached the point where I am going to pass off all responsibilities to someone else I find and leave him high and dry. I don't want hate or animosity in my heart so I must step away. He is used to me doing everything that he asks so this will hit him hard. He is going to be very upset, but honestly he should have thought about not taking me for granted at an earlier time. I could have been great for his end of life period, but now it's his loss [/quote]
