My father has become over possesive with my mother. Anyone she talks with or see's, he thinks she is having an affair with them. He is very verbally abusive, he follows her, stalking her, 24 hour obsession.

They are in thier very early 70's.

My mother is very active, senior volleyball ect. She is very outgoing, wants to live. She has invited him many times, but he always refuses, 'real' men dont do the 'gym thing'.

My father is a macho man. He wants her home making his meals and picking up after him. He actually thinks I am trying to break them up. He has threatened me a few times.

This whole thing looks ridiculous in writing, but I dont know what else to do for them. I just dont want it to escalate to anything physical.

I live 4 miles from them so Its hard for me to just ignore it.

Thanks
