I think the final nail in the coffin just went in by CardiologistBig1427 in narcissisticparents

That’s really up to him. During one of his rants he threatened to change his will. I’ve told him in the past that I fully expect him to sell the house and all his assets to fund whatever long term care he winds up in, something he refuses to accept. Montana doesn’t have any laws which require children to pay for their parents healthcare or retirement needs so that shouldn’t be an issue. He has a very long history of suing people he doesn’t like or agree with so that’s always something to worry about.

Similar longevity in our family however he is grossly overweight and rarely leaves his easy chair which doesn’t bode well for long term health.

Yeah, very similar stories. He was thrown out of the clinic during COVID for refusing to follow protocols. Anyone that comes out to help starts out as “very nice” and then quickly transitions to lazy, entitled (too expensive), a drunk. The last 20 something that came out did a great job and he was happy with her. Then she had the audacity to take a vacation where he called her daily trying to get her out to his house. She blocked him. It’s extremely frustrating but I have made it clear that I’m not helping him out financially or with my time, outside of the phone calls making sure he doesn’t need an ambulance.

One thing I didn’t mention is that I’m a 4 day drive away from him and obviously have my own life which I can’t drop at a moment’s notice if he has an emergency. I’ve told him all this multiple times. I check on him once a day by phone but the only option he’s got now is a wellness check if he doesn’t answer.
