No spoilers , but if you smell lemons , run . <| sep |> Please give an example of Datto clickbaiting , I can ' t think of a time he ' s ever done such a thing . <| sep |> If this is , as you say , very out of character for your dad , then one thing you could do would be to see what all inconvenience you can cause by getting him medically evaluated . You may not be able to get very far depending on your local area ' a rules and resources dedicated to elder care but some areas like , care and stuff . sudden changes in behavior in Old People may be because of mental illness , dementia , Alzheimer ' s , or a brain tumor . Or even a runaway UTI . I think it would be helpful to send some elder caremental healthhealthcare types his way for an evaluation . Best case scenario is he actually is sick and gets treated . Worst case , he ' s a fucking incestual narcissist and maybe he ' ll be embarrassed if he knows he ' s being monitored . Then , bail out . Narcissists ultimately don ' t change and there ' s a risk he ' ll keep doing this or worse , and since he ' s Old ? He ' s going to expect you to take it and take care of him . Do not do it !
