I am at the age where a lot of my friends are dealing with parents who are older and susceptible to getting scammed.
My mother, before she died, bless her soul, had a phase where she was sending way too much money to televangelists.
So I would say first order of business for this person who wrote the letter was
don't spiral because this happens frequently to lots of people and you aren't the first to deal with this.
And then two, I would say think about where your father will accept the most feedback and from whom.
A lot of times people don't want to hear the right thing to do from their kid because it's weird for a kid to exert authority or expertise over them.
So is there someone else involved in your father's life, family or friend who can do that for you?
That's my first two takes.
You know what I mean?
What's an example of one of those questions?
Yeah.
I also think part of the work when you're dealing with this, people who are close to you who are being financially irresponsible, half the work is trying to help them through it, but the other half is keeping your own peace in the midst of it.
When you see a parent suffering like this, and they're suffering.
They might not think they're suffering, but they are.
When you see a parent going through this, when you see a parent letting go of their life savings...
it can very easily drive you into a state of frenzy or spiral.
You have to not let that happen to you.
Because you won't be able to help them if you're spiraling yourself.
You can't yell at them until they figure it out.
And you can't blame yourself for it happening or it continuing to happen.
