[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 19555, member: 1722"] Barbara, My Dad and I had this kind of go round in the year before he died. He would make all sorts of unreasonable demands all the time. It was frustrating and maddening. The case manager at the assisted living facility explained that Dad was testing me to be sure I'd take care of his needs, no matter what, if needed. My job was to set boundaries and a hierarchy of care (Duckie then husband then Dad), it was Dad's job to adjust to this hierarchy. It helped me take some of the emotion out of it. Good luck. FWIW, my mother and I can barely get through an overnight visit. [/QUOTE]
