Scenario

When couples disagree about elderly parent care decisions

My wife and I have been caregivers for my mother with dementia for three years and we're both completely burned out but we can't agree on next steps — she wants to explore assisted living and I feel like we're abandoning her. We barely talk about anything else anymore and when we do it always ends in one of us crying or walking away.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are drowning together while disagreeing about how to save themselves and their loved one.
