During one visit, I observed mom’s escalating separation anxiety and my father’s response to her anxiety. Any time he left the house, my mother paced and worried. She paced nervously all the while looking out the windows and opening the front door repeatedly to see if his car pulled in. She could get locked out in the heat or wander off and try to find him. And at his age, I worried that something could happen to him and he wouldn’t get home to her.
