[quote=Anonymous]My mom has an avoidance of doctors and medical care (also to my detriment when I was a kid). She left high cholesterol and blood pressure undiagnosed and untreated for decades (she is thin, no diabetes etc so maybe didn’t think of it). She never did an annual until she was 73 and my sister and I literally forced her, yelled at her, for months. Then no property follow up, and now had a stroke, discovered in an MRI which I was able to force her to take. Vascular dementia after I literally dragged her to the neurologist. So now I wonder: am I to blame, do I bear the guilt of not having yelled, forced, dragged before? I tried to make her go since 2019, but wasn’t that forceful about it (only somewhat but not enough, apparently). So now I wonder if I am guilty of neglecting her or if it was her individual decision that was to be respected? My sister is of the latter opinion but in light of this, I think she’s questioning herself a bit.[/quote]
