Could you communicate with him only via text? That gives you the chance to think through responses before answering. Plus you can just ignore anything you don't want to talk about.

I did try communicating by text but his eyesight is going in a bad way. Like 75% gone in one eye and 25% in the other.
I did just send a short text saying I was sorry I missed him, glad to hear he's progressing, and I'll try to give him a call when I'm not working. That way at least he doesn't feel ignored entirely.
Is it wrong that I just want to be compassionate here? I feel like I'm not doing anything more than I've done for elderly neighbors who went to hospice, etc. Except they didn't cause me pain and drama...
