[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know you all say I need to "drop it" and knock off the disdain, but just trying to convey what I mean when I say DW is drained---
FIL used to live in NYC. He and late MIL moved to DMV a few years after DW and I moved here.  FIL will only see his doctors and specialists in NYC. He believes they are the best of the best, and DMV does not have good enough quality doctors. Thus---my wife drives her dad to NYC for medical appointments.

In an effort to be helpful with suggestions, I gave a groundbreaking suggestion of---why don't we find a DMV primary care doctor for your dad?  FIL shot that down. Not an option to change or find new doctors.

Can you see why I am on the edge?[/quote]

Damn. Yes, I can.

I would give your fil a choice, he either moves back to NY and everything is up to him (you and your wife will help him move, visit him once every two hours months or whatever, help set up all the services he needs etc...) or he stays in DC and his daughter takes him to appts.

That's just crazy OP. But, I have parents like that too so I understand all too well.[/quote]
