Scenario

When siblings disagree on elderly parent care decisions

My brother and I are both caring for our mom who has dementia, but we have completely different ideas about what's best for her and we keep undermining each other instead of actually talking about it. Every decision becomes a quiet power struggle and Mom is caught in the middle.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who love the same person are letting their different approaches create division rather than seeking shared wisdom about an impossible situation.
