[quote=Anonymous]One more thing...re"them hating eachother. Been there. My parents always had a volatile marriage, but dad's illness made mom lose it and become just awful. You try to offer options...dad goes to the community center during the day to do some activity he enjoys or mom does, senior day programs, etc. You can talk to the council on aging for ideas or whatever. You could try to get a geriatric social worker to helo them. Then if they throw out every idea and refuse, you have to detach and let them hate eachother. It is not your job to solve their marital problems. I learned that the hard way. Mom used to threaten to murder dad. Now she visits his grave daily. Some people are just dysfunctional and once again, don't let them bring you down with the ship.[/quote]
