I am sorry to hear about the father. How old is his father? I know we worry about our parents just the same but I’d say there might be a difference if he is 75 or 105. I’d say you could send get well card or call his mother or brother and express your concerns

Any news about divorce? He’s going to put that on hold because the father is sick now. Then there will be something else. He’ll want you to travel to a funeral with him. Since he has no money, he’d ask you to pay for a flight. Or lend him money if he flies alone.

This will never end. I wonder if he is even telling the truth.
