[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry for your loss. Sometimes among seniors they will avoid the sick or rapidly aging peer because it's scary for them to witness mortality, or because they think they'll be stuck doing a lot of caregiving. Honestly it sounds like his behavior was a lot worse than "awkward". It was self-sabotaging and care-rejecting. If he was like that to his own daughter he might have been the same or worse to them. Yes it's part of his condition, but they're dealing with their own issues and struggles in life and only have so much bandwidth for someone who isn't pleasant and who treats them rudely and rejects help. You need to open your mind to the full situaton here.[/quote]
