Re: Aging parents.

[(Anonymous)]

I lost my dad last year and I can feel myself echoed in your post, anon. A few months before he was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer he slipped off the ladder on the last step, which has made me wary of my mother on ladders or step stools, especially since she fell down the stairs rushing to get back to his bedside in the hospital. He was 81 when he passed.

I do agree it's like reverse childhood where we're the ones taking care of them now. I had a moment last week where I couldn't get through to my mother and she'd just. left the phone in the car because she shop she was going into was a black hole. We've agreed that I'll hold off on the AirTag or tracking her phone as long as she texts me where she is first. It feels like parenting, which isn't great for my mental health since I never considered myself capable of being a parent.

I'm sorry I can't offer any advice, I thought you might like to know you're not alone in this.

It helps, thank you. I never considered myself capable of being a parent, either. I don't have kids, don't plan to have any. I don't want that kind of caregiver role and I know I'm not well suited for it long term. It's even harder when the "child" in question is actually a fully grown adult. I've had awful arguments with my dad, who doesn't want to face up to his physical limitations. He doesn't want to end up crippled and bed-bound, but that's exactly where he's headed with his lifestyle. He refuses to listen to me, and gets angry when I try to reason with him. It seems a lot of people are struggling with the same issues re: their own parents and it sucks.
