I noted that some aspects of this parental passion play have been “heartening”. At 93, my father is still fundamentally himself. He has accommodated the steady shrinking of his life – no more New York Philharmonic or Metropolitan Opera – with resigned grace. Pre-pandemic, he resisted a mobility scooter at first, but rapidly reconciled to the perceived demotion, zooming the Upper West Side with gusto. These days, he accedes to his faithful carer’s necessary involvement in his intimate bodily functions without a fuss, for he’s not hung up on younger people’s strangely bathroomy version of what constitutes “dignity”.

A friend of mine experienced this when she started talking to her long-term partner about their relationship, which had become stale, directionless and conflicted. She said that she loved him and wanted to stay with him, but also wanted them to move beyond their current way of relating to each other. That she was starting a process of envisioning the future she wanted and invited him to join her. That she would move forward, and would still love him, whether he decided to participate or not.
