I wonder how many people go through such mixed up times with older parents. Dad is having some medical issues, and both parents are mixed up about a lot of things, both in their mid 70's. They really argue in a demeaning way with each other and they always have. This makes it so people DONT want to be around them. My Mom is saying she has been so alone since we all left home. That was so long ago! She drives down the road with her cell phone in one hand talking to us and I can hear the seat belt reminder bell going off in her car that she ignores. They have been ignoring doctors orders for Dads care, ignoring all three of us when we try to tell them what the doctors orders are. I guess this happens, but it is both of them at once. Mom has always been a complainer and whiner, so I guess I should expect this. My hubby has an aunt and a sister who are in homes with assisted care, and they lived alone before this. I never heard them complain like these two do. Guess I have to learn to look at the funny side also, but it is very hard. Thanks for the ear everyone!!
