Many of us have BTDT on here.
So alot of us know what you are probably going thru.

Don't lose your composure with him.
He probably wont remember.
But you will.
And ya cant change what might be said.
Sometimes the best approach with the elderly is appeasement to let them " win".
It's hard going that route but it advoids ugly build up of resentment and words that cant be taken back.

Just try to do your best and bite your tongue if matters are happening like that.

I wish you the best.
You dad also.


Yep. Good advice!

Roger;
Morning sir, sorry to read of this.

In my experience - which is dealing with my much loved Mother in Law for more than 6 years and my mother for roughly 5 years as dementia patients, renegade is spot on.

If you're inclined I'd be happy to share with you anything and all that we learned on that journey.

It's a recent one too for us Roger, we lost Mom in the spring of 2019 and Mom in Law last spring during the beer flu lock down where I wasn't allowed in to see her at the end - only one family member.

Anyways sir, you'll be in my thoughts and prayers for sure and again if you want to talk I'm here or on Faceplant - just give me a shout.

Dwayne
