He can't remember from one minute to the next. I've already told him. He doesn't know I've contacted financial planner and told him he needs to get things passed me and not talk with him any longer. Life insurance right now on auto pay. Planner will make sure I know if he tries to change this. Telli...

Tough love doesn't work on an irrationally thinking person. I'm going to get the reports of his previous 2 sleep studies which never picked up or Dr. never reported to us of any apnea episodes. These were done for Neuro reasons. (Seizure and another sleep disorder). I'm now saddled with a 68 year ol...
