"Do whatever you want" sounds more like apathy and resignation than agreement. I know my dad isn't happy. He's disgruntled about her spending his money. He drinks a lot just to make his situation more tolerable. I suspect he feels trapped and defeated like I did. I think the only reason he keeps her around is that he needs someone to take care of him in his old age. I wish he felt that he could depend on me for that. My leaving actually supports her narrative that I'm a bad egg.
