[quote=Anonymous]That was the point where I defined my parents and ILs as old. I don't know if it's a thing, but every "old" person I know gets this way. Personally, I never saw the point of fighting back. My tactic was to work to make the interactions positive and avoid conflict. It certainly was a more peaceful way for us to live through the end of our our parents' lives. Remember, this is the last thing you will remember about your life with them. I will say though, that there have been a few things I could not let go. When one of my kids came out as gay, I could not accept the negativity that came out - but that was a true choice between showing my son that I supported him and avoiding conflict. Very few things reach this level. [/quote]
