Elder Abuse By Family Members |

A mother has Alzheimer's disease, her husband, the father, expects her to manage the household and care for him because this has always been her role. Her memory is poor, she cannot even remember the day of the week and can certainly no longer manage the household. The house is filthy, dirty dishes are in the sink, food in the refrigerator is spoiled, yet the parents insist to the children that they do not need any help.
Question? It is okay for children to knowingly neglect parents who need care because they fear angering their parents who insist they do not need help or do the children have a duty to provide care regardless of anger that may result ?
