[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP again. I have gotten great advice on this forum regarding how to view situations like this. The elderly parent has their own agency, and it is their choice how they leave this world. If they want to take risks or refuse help, that is their choice. It may kill or cripple them in the process but that is their choice. All you can do is be what support you can be but also protect your own mental health in the process and keep your distance in what you can. [/quote] You forget the trauma inflicted by these behaviors on the person living with him. He can get into an accident and then who picks up the pieces? His wife. He can into rages and who is psychologically and verbally abused? His wife. Something needs to be done if she cannot deal with this to the point that she's paralyzed and refusing suggestions. OP needs to take matters into her own hands, or at least try to separate the two parents.[/quote]
