[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 708424, member: 11832"] I don't know. Why did they also tell me that they would never use a senior driving service? Susie, I hadn't thought about her blaming me when he does have an accident. I can imagine her doing that. She had the perfect opportunity to use me as the bad guy when I insisted upon the hospital driving evaluation. I had talking to her about that option since last August when Dad was unable to answer a single question that his internist asked him. I knew when he was unable to fill out the questionnaire that every doctor's office gives you, that his memory was gone. He couldn't even find his license in his wallet. Not only is CQ allowing him to drive, she is allowing him to drive alone. When that inevitable accident occurs, I doubt that Dad can even dial 911 for help. Yes, I am aware that Dad could be having serious giant tantrums. Letty found an Alzheimer's advocate and a local support group for CQ. She refuses all manner of assistance. For her, life is all about keeping up appearances. She will go to the end's of the earth to keep up her social standing. You're right, Copa. I wanted CQ to take responsibility and be the adult with regards to my dad. It is obvious to me that she will not step up. There is little I can do to help my Dad through this awful stage in his life. But the one thing that I can do is push for him to be tested by the authorities to assess his driving abilities. If it had been up to me, I would have taken the car keys away from him months ago. It just now occurred to me that CQ probably never even took Dad to have any memory testing. If she lied about the driving evaluation, why not lie about that testing, too? It makes no sense that she has no results from that testing. [/QUOTE]
