I speak from experience. Aging parents, especially the stubborn type, will be a massive health drain on YOUR health. For little in return. They are still going to die. Don't put them before your own family, even a little bit. It will end you. They lived their lives, you're entitled to the same.
- zarkov99 5y agoJesus man. Please, your experience is your experience and does not generalize. Plenty of people love their parents and would gladly sacrifice a little to make the end of their lives better. Your conclusion might be appropriate for your circumstances but it is horrible nonetheless and no one should take it as the right way to live.

That's the problem I'm facing since last year 60 yo, half life long alcoholic with dementia/stupor that really tries hard to make our life as miserable as possible and it started affecting health of other people from my family And I do seriously consider what you're suggesting - just fuck him and leave him alone
