I need some advice on helping my parents with their relationship. My mother is 75 and my father 79. They are relatively healthy and content with their married life. My father, though, has had one knee replaced and is booked to have the other knee done in Jan. The first knee was replaced last Spring and has recovered well but it was a painful recovery. He has chronic pain from the knee that needs replacement and his mobility is limited but he gets around.
My mother does not drive and my father can't drive with his condition. Myself and my brothers help them out when they need it. I visit to keep them company a few times a month as they live 2hrs from me.
My mother and father are fighting a great deal recently. My mother is constantly on his case for everything and claims he can't do anything right including choose his clothes for Christmas day! My father is being affected by the stress. My mother can't stand to be in the same room with him because his breathing gets on her nerves. She is very stressed and recognizes that she is over the top with nagging but does not know what to do to stop.
What can be done to help them out?
