[quote=Anonymous]I will take a stab: Unless your parents have a specific plan in place for their care, what will likely happen is that eventually there will be a catastrophic event that will force them to change (i.e. get help or move). Until then, you can offer suggestions, but at the end of the day it is their choice, and it is difficult to "make" them do anything they don't want to do. Most parents don't accept parenting from their adult kids very well. This is what eight months of stress and hand wringing and research has taught me. I was in a similar boat to you. Read or listen to "Being Mortal" - it helped me see it from their perspective and understand how freedom needs to be considered as much (or more) than safety. Nobody gets out of here alive. [/quote]
