[quote=Anonymous]If your dad is directly requesting a different situation than what your mom can offer, try to help him get that. Maybe start with in-home care because it's the least disruptive. In a way I hope that your mom is passive in allowing changes to take place. My mother was passive about all but the basic care for my dad, but when I proposed or tried to initiate change she would get so aggressive and agitated. She'd yell at me saying I was accusing her of being negligent of him. My dad reacted by siding with her because he wanted to keep the peace. I did what I was able to while I could. He was comfortable enough, but I still would have loved his last months to have been better. Good luck, OP.[/quote]
