[QUOTE="sadandfrustrated, post: 670023, member: 19612"] Your use of the phrase 'cornering them' upsets me. Why would anyone want to put them on the spot like that? I feel sorry for his parents. Cornering them only add's to the stress that they're already living under. There's nothing worse than family members making little digs about what a parent should and shouldn't do. It just alienates that parent and makes them feel like they don't have a support system. A little compassion goes a long way and if they feel they're not being judged they may open up more and talk about their situation. But ideally, your wife, their daughter should be the one to talk to them. But, ultimately it's the parents choice and there's nothing you or your wife can do if they choose to let him live there.
