Find Care & Housing
So, FWIW, I cannot overstate this: I'm an 87 Y/O woman and pretty much "old school" about personal care and hygiene. I would be HORRIFIED--yes, horrified!--to contemplate calling upon my family (especially my son) to provide hands-on physical care. Question: when Dragon's mom was able to think clearly, what were her views on such matters?

First let me thank everyone who took time to answer on my original post and update. I appreciate all of the encouragement and support. 

My Dad admitted he was being selfish and that he was wrong to be so angry. He said it was tearing him apart to have this between us and that he was sorry.
He said he just wanted it to be done and water under the bridge.

I told him I did not like it either and That we are good but that we have some stuff to workout. We don’t have to talk about it now but there is some rebuilding we have to do in our relationship. Even as angry as I was I never stopped telling him I loved him but I get to set boundaries and I get to live my life and any help I decide to give has to be on my terms.

He thinks he may permanently move near me. 

I believe he was sincere and that he is ashamed and wants things to be different.

I will make sure he realizes that things have to be different moving forward and over time we can figure that out as we heal.

I am guarded though. Not gonna act like it is all sunshine and rainbows. But for now I think we can at least continue to communicate and focus on the most important thing…what is best for my Mom.

I forgive him

I will not hold it over his head but I will remember so that if it happens again I will call him out on it and maintain firm boundaries.
