Re: Aging parents.

[(Anonymous)]

While I understand the psychology between trying to benignly manipulate someone to do the right thing without damaging their ego, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I recognize my own dad in posts like that. He doesn't like being questioned for any reason, which is a problem because his mental faculties aren't what they used to be and sometimes his ideas just don't make any damn sense, or they're straight up bad ideas that would result in a negative outcome for himself or other people. Gentle reasoning or trying to appeal to his better nature doesn't work. What he'd prefer that I do is nod and agree to everything he says, and then when it blows up in my face, I need to nod and agree that nobody could've seen THAT coming and there's no possible way anyone (especially my dad) could've predicted a terrible outcome, it was just bad luck you guys. Or he'd try to make it out like it was MY fault, somehow.

He'd rather have me mindlessly follow his bad advice and suffer the consequences, just to protect his own ego. He wasn't always like that, but he's like that now - a spiteful, selfish old man. I don't have unlimited energy and emotional resources to coddle an asshole who would happily throw his own kid under the bus. I'd do it for my dad who used to not have his head shoved up his own ass. But I won't do it for this jerkwad who yells at me because I have a mind of my own.
