[quote=Anonymous] OP - Have you had your Dad evaluated for medication to reduce his anxiety and more aggressive behaviors. This is key to help him have less stress and to reduce the impact on your mother. If your mother is able, does she go out to see friends or simply to do things she might still enjoy such as getting her hair done, going to the library to read in peace and quiet, Going to a church service. If she might give this a try, maybe see if you could contact a close friend to Call and make arrangements and a gift certificate for two to lunch out (given to the friend who will pickup mom) will be a welcome gift for her. The other aspect is that perhaps finding a paid companion to take your mom out once a week might help her mental outlook, too. If she is able to drive, encourage her to join a senior group of some sort to keep up her social connections and a life balance. [/quote]
