I’m sorry to hear you’re having to go through this. It’s hard to see our aged parents going downhill; especially when they won’t do anything about it. I’m in a similar situation with mine. Mom has early symptoms of dementia and dad has health issues that he won’t take care of like he should. We’ve had some success with dad getting him to the doc appointments and his temperament has improved as he feels better. He still gets frustrated with Mom (and me) though. I can only suggest to get your siblings together and express your love for him and your mom and share your concerns with them. Add to that some ideas how to help him/them and try and do it in such a way that it’s his idea.

Good luck. This isn’t a fun thing to have to go through.


Yours in Liberty,
