In reply to the discussion: I am heartbroken about my friend. [View all]no_hypocrisy
(46,286 posts)13. I think my breaking point is the fact that he was pushed aside and ignored.
His sister argued with his wife against moving him out of rehab and his wife demanded that he attend Thanksgiving, that he HAD to be there. If she wanted him there that badly, then why did she out of all the family ignore him? The day before T/G, his wife and daughter left him alone in the house to go shopping for hours. And his wife's a retired nurse! Leave him alone under these circumstances? At least at Rehab, he was being monitored. And bathed. And shaved. Hair washed. None of that is being done now.

Maybe you could offer to drive him to physical therapy if his wife won't.
