I need to do this type of thing myself because I am currently crumbling under the pressure of making medical decisions for my ex who was capable of this for decades (excellent algebra teacher), just wants someone else to do it or ignore things and pay the price, a huge price when it comes to our health. It was sort of my job but now it is eating up my life and my identity like a pac man game, gobbling up parts of my soul. Must problem solve, not get further triggered by this. Me too, for sure. Together we can all search for solutions! One step at a time is so hard sometimes. We definitely need to be kind to ourselves and reward ourselves for each step along the way.

Hi luvyrself. You're right that I need to talk to my sister and brother about helping Dad with his paperwork and bills. I confess that since I started this thread I've neglected to follow up on this issue. Last week I told my dad I wanted to get together with him. I called him to arrange a date and he vetoed all days because he's "too busy". "Too busy" with his cafe buddies, I believe. I offered to come on Tuesday, and he said "The housekeeper will be her on that day, so no." I then mentioned I'd like to see her work. He flat out said "No". He told me he likes her no matter what she does and doesn't do. It's hard to fight that. I guess the next time I go to his house I'll bring some Pledge and a dusting rag.
