. My father wants to move to be closer to me. I really don't want him to. What to do?

[ThePoorMansBeckySharp]

My father and I have a difficult relationship and have never been close. Frankly, he has a difficult relationship with everybody and therefore doesn't get on with any of his family and has few/no friends. He is rude, bad-tempered and frequently downright offensive. My husband tolerates him, but only for the sake of peace.

My father now wants to move to our small and fairly isolated village in order to be closer to us. He does not drive and we would be his sole source of practical and emotional support. I am horrified. What do I do?

I'd say you're thinking of emigrating and if he was living in the village without you there, he wouldn't be able to go anywhere or know anyone.

To be honest, if he moved there, I'd move out. There's no way I'd live near someone like that, father or no father.
