Scenario

When families disagree on addressing elderly internet addiction

My elderly parent has developed what looks like internet addiction since retirement and my siblings and I can't agree on whether to intervene because we're all heavy internet users ourselves. We're worried but also don't want to be controlling, and every family conversation about it turns into arguments about everyone's screen habits.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A family system paralyzed by conflicting values around digital autonomy and competing definitions of problematic use.
