Carrie40 has given you the kind of advice you need!! And I totally agree. Stand up for yourself and I imagine some of his controlling tactics will change. Yes, he has problems, but he has to realize he is taking advantage of you. As for the daughter, pin her down. Give her several appt dates and tell her to pick one.
Bless you.

Thank you; I really appreciate your reply. I read all the replies and understand that you have to put compassion in your behavior as a caregiver. But you have to consider the behavior and condition of the person being cared for; one who is capable of controlling him/herself can be encouraged to do so in a positive way IN MY OPINION. Things will just get worse if the caregiver has a breakdown, either mental or physical.
