Default OT - Elder Mistreatment

Her son is an asshole.


This is most unfair. You've obviously never faced caring for an ailing
parent alone, while trying to maintain a family and a career simultaneously.

I championed my father's desire to keep him out of a facility as long as I
could. Sadly the local busy bodies conspired with some other family
members, ultimately threatening me with criminal negligence charges. I had
no choice but to have Dad put in a home. He was heartbroken, and never
completely recovered from his "incarceration," as he called it. And my
guilt could have filled the Grand Canyon.

Walk a mile in that lady's son's shoes, or mine, before you pass judgment.
