I (50/F) moved overseas in January. Visiting parents for the first time and sleeping under their roof for the first time in 30 years for 3 weeks.

I’ve been frustrated arguing with my dad over everything because he is acting so weird and overbearing and particular over how i drive their car and lock the doors and cook and eat and conduct my life… I didn’t read the signs I’ve just acted like a total brat… and my dad (after having a very very hard time finding the words to get it out) said he has Alzheimers and is starting a “18 month program” whatever that means.

I feel like a jerk… I am suddenly mourning my dad who is already not the same and have already lived with my mom (25 years ago) taking care of her own mom with memory in decline (my mom would do weird things like send me flowers addressed from her mom when my grandma already didnt know who i was anymore). I just feel so terrible about what my mom must be going through and also how mean ive been to my dad. I’m with my folks for the next 2 weeks then I go back home 6000 miles away…

Please share if anyone knows what an 18 month program means and anything else that might be helpful for me to know or understand at this point.

20 years on MS Office Suite on Mac and I’m 6 days in to my new gig with G Suite on a PC supporting CEO at a multinational.

Can anyone please advise me on if any of these things are possible with GSuite:

- Receiving my exec’s meeting invites to my inbox without him receiving them

- Making emails be separate not stacked by subject (even if I change subject they are still stacked together)

- Showing 3+ timezones in calendar

- Removing massive yellow reminder about external addressees.

- How to mark an email urgent.

- How to mark an email as confidential.

- How to mark a calendar invite as do not forward

- How to program tab key to actually function like a tab key in emails and the body of calendar invites.

- How to attach a document to a calendar invite thats not just a link to a google drive document.

- Add 3 languages to my spell check so its not always underlining everything when I compose emails in multiple languages.

- How to add my signature to an email I am replying to or forwarding only when I want, not deeming EVERY forwarded email with a sig.

Who wants to show off your best practices!?!?!
