Re: Old parents
(Anonymous) 2019-07-13 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)He is, indeed. My mom died last year and nobody saw it coming. He's doing well, all things considered. But his health has never been great and he's not good about sticking to his diet, etc. My siblings and I have to keep a close eye on him.
It works on several levels... If he can downplay his condition, then he can continue to deny his own mortality, and put the burden on your mother for supposedly making a big deal about nothing. If he acknowledged that he needs a lot of help - more help than family can provide, he'd have to admit that he's losing autonomy...that's scary for anyone, much less an old school guy who's used to being in control.
