Thanks, brah.
Fortunately for me, my mother was volcel after leaving my father for his drunken violence; although she had a Friend Zoned betabux who provided for her. He was like an overbearing step-father and we did not get on for about 18 years, but we fortunately got on better about six years ago when he was too old to make the stairs to our apartment and wasn't effectively living with us anymore.
My mother died suddenly almost 2.5 years ago and we were both devastated, which further made us closer. I have referred to him in the incelosphere as my quasi-grandpa now. He's 82 and he's the only family I have left. I only see him twice a month. He had a fall a couple of weeks ago and he couldn't get up until I got there the next morning.
I am pretty concerned it will be all over when he goes. He has declined rapidly since my mother died - he walks with a cane now, had terrible knees for 50 years and has little power in his legs now; this from a guy I remembered jogging up the stairs in his 60s, despite bad knees. He may only have a few years left and may even sui when his quality of life and independence is gone. He's had an active life and wouldn't want to be bedridden in his last years.
