@margaretob, you’re absolutely right about that, yesterday my neighbour came by all frustrated and angry because she didn’t know how to use her new phone, she’s 84 years old and in bad health and she looks after her husband who is suffering from dementia, to make matters worse her daughter who is all she has just abandoned her and moved away to live alone, she’s 48 and was living at home with her parents all this time. I realize that there’s two sides to everything but I can’t relate to what she has done and worst of all she can’t be contacted. My heart breaks for her mother who is so alone with everything, she only has a worker com by once a week to bathe her husband and that’s all she has, she told me that her friends don’t speak to her anymore and I can relate to that. I don’t know what has happened to our world, I can’t imagine abandoning my parents when they were sick but that was another time when things weren’t so chaotic.

@frouke American generations seem to be abandoning the elderly Baby Boomers.

I hear stories like this every day.

Entitled, angry kids who run away and hide; stick their heads in the sand.
Sadly, they will learn the hard way: when it is too late.
