Dear Carolyn: I am in my mid-30s and am professionally and financially squared away. I’m actively dating and looking for a relationship with the right woman and hopefully marriage one day.

Recently, my mother passed away after a long illness. My dad has no other family in his area, so I’m going to move him into a spare room in my house for a while. We may get him into a senior apartment sometime next year if we can find something he likes and can afford.
