Parents have been married 71 years and my mother has taken care of my father all these years. Now he is almost blind MD and she is tired. He can’t drive so she does that too. They are getting on each other’s nerves and don’t think the other cares. My father refused to go to the doctor when we told him he was going to give him a memory assessment. My brother and I don’t know how to help them. No financial resources just Medicare and what we give them.
she was sick of having to cleanup after him and verify everything for fear he would burn the place down. He was sick of her hen-pecking.
I almost suggested nerf bats for them! It was brutal to be there trying to help them both. No point trying to talk civility into them....they couldn’t hear me anyway. Aaaarrrrggggghhhhh!
I just tried to referee, and prevent any actual harm.
