Here’s a basic question, where are her family? It is sad that many people in our society shirk the responsibility of caring for their elderly parents.

Guess it all depends on the elderly parents. If someone has been mentally abused by a parent, constantly disowned as family all their adult life because they didn’t bend to the whim of the parent, and the parent is an alcoholic, do you think the children have to take care of the elderly parent they haven’t spoken to thirty or so years later?

I’m using that as an example, btw. Not saying that this lady is like that. I don’t know her.
