Yes. I was raised by a grandmother and a father who was old enough to be my grandfather. I was there until each died; but if I hadn’t been, they were fully capable of handling their own affairs and day-to-day lives, and would have been completely against being ‘managed’ by a caregiver.
I admit to being just an unrepentant rebel all my life-so the idea of being managed in any way would be like prison-living in hell-I’d take myself out first...
