About who needs care: My father is extremely challenging to deal with, and I want to provide a fair warning to anyone taking on this role. Hes difficult to understand, not just because his speech can be a mix of mumbled words and dentures clicking, but because he often talks in circles or says things purely to throw people off. However, the real challenge lies in his behavior. He has a narcissistic, manipulative streak and enjoys playing subtle mind games designed to frustrate and disorient you. For example, hell move your belongingskeys, glasses, or other itemsjust to make you think youve misplaced them, then quietly put them back where you swore you left them. When you eventually find them, hell insist they were there all along, planting seeds of doubt about your memory. This is all a distraction for his own amusement. He tests everyone he interacts with, regardless of gender. For women, he tends to push boundaries with manipulative tactics and tries to undermine confidence. A no-nonsense, take-charge attitude is crucial to handling him. For men, hell test your patience with a 'good ol boy' approachsomeone with a blue-collar demeanor who can roll with his nonsense and laugh it off will have better luck keeping things smooth. This isnt an easy task. The right person for this role needs to be firm, unflappable, and able to hold their own while setting clear boundaries. Someone who can find the balance between standing their ground and not taking him too seriously will do best.
