A female Bolivia age 41-50, *ellaflor77 writes:

I have a problem with my father. I am 33. I have been living with my parents for 6 months because I had to do paperwork to go abroad. I have lived during 7 years independently.

My parents are in their 70s. My father has Alzheimer's disease. He does not see me as his daughter, he sees me as if I were his girlfriend. He flirts with me when there is nobody at home. He also said that I should be a single mother and that he would be the father of my kid.

He obviously doesn't know what he is talking about or says that to irritate me.

My mother makes fun of what is going on. I no longer live with my parents, I have rented a room. They insist on me visiting on the weekends, they say they are old and that they could die at any moment, they say they need my attention.

My mother even encouraged my father to hit me. So, he hit me and yelled at me for 2 hours. She said she is not responsible for his behavior, and she thinks it is MY fault to take his words seriously. She acts like nothing is happening.

I think their thoughts are sick. I don't know what to do. In three months I am going abroad and I fear they would do something the last minute to blackmail me.

Please advice me what to do. It seems they want me close only so they can make fun of me.

Aunty Susie agony auntSorry, sorry, sorry. I meant to say that your parents being in their seventies does NOT mean the deaths are imminent.

Aunty Susie agony auntJust because your parents are in their seventies, does mean that their deaths are imminent. Go overseas as planned, try and not let them make you feel guilty. Your father does not have control of his behaviour, but your mother does. Be strong and don't change your plans, this is YOUR life.
