Dear Abby advises a daughter who wants the keys taken from her elderly father.
I’m struggling to continue my relationship with my dad, who is in his 80s. He recently became very ill and nearly died. He was unable to walk for several months, and when he was finally able to start getting around, it was with a wheelchair and walker. Dad started driving his truck, although my brother and I strongly suggested it wasn’t safe for him. He wasn’t even able to get into the truck without assistance.
This is so hurtful. He continues to be selfish and completely ignores the fact that our mother died because of someone like him. What should I do? I know Dad doesn’t have much time left, but I’m struggling to keep our relationship going.Your father’s desire for independence may be stronger than his reason.
Recently, my best friend, “Stuart,” found a new partner of the same gender. I’m happy he found someone with whom he has a deep connection and I admire his confidence in coming out. However, it has taken a toll on our friendship. When Stuart and I hang out, he brings his partner along. I usually wouldn’t mind having more people along, but Stuart and his partner are often intimate around me in public.
