[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 708444, member: 11832"] Precisely. The priorities are backwards. I am, too. Her answers to my questions make no sense. Perhaps the stress of dealing with Dad has worn her down. I cannot, however, fight her. I haven't the strength. Don't even get me started on their living conditions. They have an enormous house in Richmond with multiple flights of long steps and a cobblestone driveway. They also have a second home at the river 2 1/2 hours away. I wanted them to sell the river house 5 years ago. Last spring a tornado ripped through the river property and tore up 50 plus trees. There was a little damage to the house, but it was mostly okay. My dad went into a deep depression over it. I tried to help him see the bright side: no one was hurt, the house was okay, no cars were damaged, etc. Dad is now 84 years old. Physically, he's in good shape. Mentally, not so much. Copa, this is terrible, but I am looking forward to spending time with my dad when he is living in a home away from CQ. Maybe he will finally take a few minutes to have a conversation with me then. Maybe he will enjoy spending time with me, even if he doesn't really know who I am. I know very little about my dad. Several years ago, I gave him one of those books which asks you questions in order to help you tell the story of your life. I wanted to hear his. I have never seen the book again. Thanks for your support, ladies. It means a great deal. [/QUOTE]
