[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think OP made a very thoughtful post. I don't have any eldercare responsibilities coming yet, but it's coming within the next few years, so I've been reading this forum. Unfortunately, the parent who will need help is simultaneously the most chaotic and most controlling person I know. Send help, and in the meantime, I am here for the unsolicited advice![/quote] OP here. My unsolicited advice is that the moment you realize that your parent is difficult (an alcoholic, mentally ill, or just stubborn/controlling), you should ideally disengage. My late mother was a difficult person, mentally ill as I realized way too late, and I regret trying and trying. Everything I did for her turned out to be useless at best. Wasted so much money and emotion! [/quote]
