I think it comes down to their right to risk aka independence. People are allowed to make foolish decisions then experience the consequences of that. It sucks for you having to watch it, but itâs their choice.

Canât disagree. He basically dragged her along knowing full well the difficulties w/ food, but he never took the time or interest in it. Heâs done a whole lot else for her health, but some reason, and it baffles me, not food. This is on him not her.

Iâve occasionally had to point out to my elderly mother - who is pretty capable still - that she needs to advocate for herself in bad situations. Mostly itâs been younger people dragging her about with her bung hip then complaining to me. I recommended getting in a taxi and leaving as the solution. I could see it hadnât even occurred to her as an option.
