The "Everything is Fine" Trap
Every week, millions of adult children ask their aging parents a simple question: "How are things going at home?"
And almost every time, the answer is the exact same: "Everything is fine, don't worry about me."
Yet deep down, most sons and daughters know something isn't right. You notice a fresh bruise on your mother’s arm that she dismisses as a "minor bump." You see uncollected mail stacking up, unopened prescription bottles on the counter, or new dents on the family car.
