Are Your Parents Driving You Crazy?
Practical and user friendly, this “how to” manual addresses the emotionally charged realities of dealing with uncooperative elderly parents. Authors Joseph A. Ilardo, PhD, and Carole Rothman, PhD, hold faculty positions at the City University of New York, and specialize in family dynamics and communication. Their goal? To present you with a model for resolving the impasses that sometimes occur when dealing with elderly parents who “drive you crazy.”
Here is just a sampling of the dozens of dilemmas that are addressed:
- My father can no longer drive safely, but he refuses to stop.
- My mother clearly needs to see a doctor, but she refuses to do so.
- My 82-year-old father wants to marry a woman he just met.
- My mother treats my brother like a god, but I’m the one who does all the work.
Helpful and thought provoking, this book will provide you the insight and tools you need to negotiate cooperative solutions, and move forward resolutely with confidence.
