My family has never been perfect but there seems to be A LOT of animosity either between my dad and my sister or my brother and my dad. This seems to be more so lately than before, there was always friction between my brother and my dad. I know my dad isn't perfect and is a bit of a narcissist, I never noticed it until my brother and sister pointed it out. But he has a tendency to constantly want something from someone, thinks that we work for him, tries to order us around like we are his servants and etc. And of course if you disagree with him, you are wrong and you are stupid. And because he's 84 years old and has COPD that gets used as a weapon.
I ignore a lot of what my dad does but I know its not right to do that but what can you do? He's never going to change, not at 84.
Is this one of those moments in life where you should just walk away just to preserve your own sanity and happiness.
