DEAR DEIDRE: My elderly father has turned into the most hateful human being and I can’t face visiting him any longer.
He’s 87 and he’s so rude to people, he lies and thinks everyone owes him attention.
I’m his son and I’m 63.
His latest untruth has really hit me hard. My wife had a heart attack a little while ago. She is doing well but needs to take it easy and I’m looking after her. Yet my father has told his neighbours and my sister that there’s nothing wrong with my wife.
