[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 228944, member: 3444"] Thank you everyone for your responses and kind words. It is such a relief to be able to talk about these things with people who understand mental illness. I'll continue to support my mom and advise her on how to keep his doctors informed. It is a relief that his current doctor is so sensitive to my dad's anxiety. He did assure him that he would take care of him and that he was only a phone call away at any time. My mom said that shocked my dad and she could see him physically relax when he heard that. Hopefully nothing happens to shake my dad's fragile trust -- it won't take much in my opinion. He's constantly vigilant for people to slip up and give him a reason to cross them off his list. My mom is now concerned about protecting their assets as his health deteriorates. I'm going to suggest she talk to a lawyer about all that... issues of competency, etc. My dad would never willingly relinquish control over anything -- mom doesn't even have access to his bank account info, his pension info, nothing. He doesn't even trust her after 46 years. Now he's talking about selling their home and moving into a retirement community. She absolutely does NOT want that. [/QUOTE]
