My dad has been driving less and my stepmom is slowly taking over. He is 76 turning 77.
I think they shouldn’t live by themselves, but they want to be independent.
Mom lived by herself on the rural family farm until she was 90. Then my brother’s family moved in to help. She’s 99, and still resents having to share her space.
Staying independent keeps them alive. I can understand that. Since I’m 16 years younger than my husband and don’t have cognitive issues, he has someone. I ride with him sometimes to see how he’s driving.
