Moved back home due to covid. Dad accused me of stealing a box of wine that I didn’t even know existed. I stopped drinking after college and never had a problem with alcohol. Now he locks the basement door. Tired of this

If he locked the basement door - there isn't an issue is there? He can't accuse you anymore so problem solved. Unless you low key did drink the wine and now have an issue with it.. 🤔

Unless OP was downstairs when it was locked.

Did you tell him that you’re too classy to drink box wine? That should help the situation 😂

I had this experience when my dad started dementia. He was in his 80s. Dealing with it is very difficult. Try to have patience also try to get him diagnosed. Also think about finances...bank accounts and PIN numbers. He’s probably going to accuse you of changing them when he forgets that information. Also see if you can get a living will, if not already done. My dad had other health issues so he deteriorated quickly. On a funny note, we just found the frying pan he hid in 2012.

This is great advice. It’s do hard. Even if you can find where he writes down his codes, or if he has a calm moment and will share with you. You will need them. Better still if he will add you to his accounts.

Behavior like this is def linked to dementia. Confused, lashing out...might be good to get him to a doc for evaluation.

My first prenatal visit was billed as “absence of menstruation” instead of “prenatal visit”, therefore my insurance is not covering it (insurance only covers prenatal visits). Is this normal? Did the doctor make a mistake with coding?

2nd post on catching covid

I am lucky to have mild symptoms.

I do have 1 symptom which is troubling. I feel extreme anxiousness. I have trouble sitting still and trouble sleeping. I have trouble concentrating. The doctor says anxiety is a somewhat common symptom and that Cedars Sinai is studying the potential for long term impact.

Anyone else experience this? I have never felt this before. I have a huge new appreciation for those who suffer from anxiety on a regular basis in everyday life.

Discovered major pay difference between myself and two new male hires with equal experience. Asked for a raise and was shot down due to Covid and essentially told they make more (were talking a 30k) bc they don’t have my “other responsibilities” aKa my two kids. I know my productivity is effected by parental responsibility but I don’t feel that alone justifies the difference. I know our billable output isn’t drastically different. Not sure what my next steps should be and welcome any advice.
