It’s a difficult conversation to have with aging parents, but helping someone stop when it is time is very important.
Q: You asked for stories about taking away the car keys of family members. Here’s mine.Q: My dad was a great driver. He taught me to drive and was a patient instructor.
After he got lost in Los Gatos for a couple hours, and his reflexes were shot from his illness, my sisters and I decided it was past time for him to stop driving. I asked his neurologist for help. The doctor weaseled out, saying, “This is best handled in the family.” It was tense for about a week, but then Dad was resigned to the change. I wasn’t disinherited or reported to the police, but what was most important was that nobody was injured by my dad’s driving. My sisters and I took on chauffeuring for our parents.Andrea Puck, Santa Clara
