I get so many problems about this, not just through my column, but in real life. Some people have difficult family members who get more difficult as they get older.

Note: this isn’t about dementia this is about trying to navigate the difficulties you may face with an intransigent relative as they get older.

Maybe they need some care but won’t acknowledge it, or maybe they’ve become dangerous behind the wheel of a car and should give up driving, but don’t want to. Psychotherapist Chris Mills helps us look at what we can and can’t do, and how to separate out our emotions from the practicalities.
