Scenario

When families disagree about an elderly parent's surgery decision

Our family is divided about whether dad should have the risky surgery at his age — some of us think it's his choice, others think he's not thinking clearly, and he's caught in the middle of our disagreements. We all love him but we're making this harder for him by not being united.

More people experience this than they realize.
