My cognitively impaired father wants to date.

I sympathize that he's feeling lonely. I can't imagine how I'd survive five minutes without my wife.

That being said, do you think he's looking for some female companionship, or do you think he's in search of a new life partner?

Managing his expectations is certainly a challenge, and I admire you for dedication to seeing him happy.

Thanks Scott for your question. The answer is that I am really not sure. I was so stunned by this whole turn of events that I haven't really spoken to him about it yet. There is certainly a difference between looking for someone to hang out with a bit and someone to spend your life with. When I talk to him, I will make sure to ask.
