Parents choose to stay home. Other family disagrees. How to handle?
My dad has started having balance issues, weakness in one side, and memory issues. I recently found out he also has incontinence issues which they haven’t told me but I found the diapers.
He’s going to physical therapy and my mom exercises with him at home.
However, his brother’s side of the family sees a different picture. They think he’s sick because he chooses to stay home and doesn’t go anywhere or see people.
I agree social interactions will help but I’ve accepted that I can’t change their mind. I can’t physically drag him to go anywhere they don’t want to go. I’ve argued with my mom countless times to change their lifestyle but they refuse .
My uncle harassed me in church and literally told me I’m “keeping him like a caged bird. If he dies, I won’t go to his funeral”
I’m sure this weekend when I see them again they’re going to ask about my parents and harass me again.
Not sure what to say or how to handle it or shut it down
