He taught me what I know about automotive AC and I still use his refrigerant recovery setup to remove and store the old refrigerant in my cars before doing AC work.

Then his brain just started shutting down.

This sounds very familiar. Dad won’t let anyone apart from me do anything on the house, even cleaning. He tries to micromanage everything to the point that my brother can’t deal with it.

The place needs work and a good top to bottom clean that just can’t happen when he’s there. He had a cleaner for years that he ran off (or she quit because of his behaviour). Now he has nobody and I’m struggling to find anyone.

It’s a disaster made worse by a health care system that enables this sort of BS.
