Hi OR,

It's a pretty crappy situation all round. I feel for your mother, and for you.

With your dad being 70, there could be a heap of things lying undetected there making his symptoms worse.

And the bind of your mom not really having friends etc puts an unfair burden on you to have to sit and listen to all of it.

How easy / manageable would it be for your mom to see a therapist that she can discuss these things with?

Have you ever told her how you struggle when she lays this all on you?
