Aging Parent Nightmare: His Son Showed Up, But Then Refused To Leave

This is a true story. We participated in this case, consulting at AgingParents.com.

Vulnerability can come on suddenly for a solo ager. Aging veteran (AV) was living alone, and was trying to work out his life as he experienced physical changes. He was okay, he thought. Until he got Covid. He was very ill, but did not need hospitalization. He called on his only son, because he had no one else to look after him at that time. They were not close. His son had a temper but AV felt he had no choice. He was scared.
