[quote=Anonymous]The elderly folks in my family and friends of the family who seemed to thrive were realistic. They didn't expect their children and grandchildren to cater to them. They moved to an appropriate setting kept old friends and made new friends. they joined in the activities. They stayed connected to family without trying to manipulate with guilt trips and victim mentality. They sought help if their mental health was declining. We have both extremes in my family. It's horrible to watch someone rot on to sofa stuck in a victim mentality, refusing any help, refusing to stay on meds, refusing to move, firing any hired help. [/quote]
