And his 36 yo daughter wants to hijack his life.
She has made unfounded, spacious claims that he's suffering dementia -- without any medical/neurological evidence. (She's a physical therapist.)
And she wants her parents* to sell their home and move out to Pennsylvania, near her, so she can "take care of them." Move into a senior citizen residence (but not a nursing home). And move him away from his other child, a son in his 40s and his grandchildren.
And did I mention that "Dad" is about to be given a $1 million settlement from a head-on car accident? Gee, I wonder who will be custodian of those funds?
While the daughter is not going to court to press for conservatorship, she's putting pressure on him. It started out with a few suggestions that he's forgetful. It's now a campaign, if only to convince him to voluntarily submit to her.
Query: Are any of your children prematurely putting pressure on you to give up independent living and let them control your life?
* This guy has had a contentious marriage, even before they were married. His wife literally screams at him all the time. Can you imagine?
