If it's a guilt trip issue then leave it go it's not worth it to you

Does she have some dementia or any mental health issues? If he saw her Tuesday, not sure of her issue. Or does she want more attention from you??

I agree with spending as much time as you can with your grandparents while they are here. My grandpa was my best friend in the world, I was lucky, he lived to be almost 97 and died when I was 34, so I got to know him a long time. Most people are not so lucky, and his mind was sharp as a tack the whole time.

Sounds like she has some issue bothering her, maybe you need to dig and find out what the real issue is.

That makes more sense. She is missing her husband who died recently and taking it out on your dad. You live there so you get it first hand.

I moved in to take care of my parents in 2003 - what a mess, they were not making it financially or medically and then mom died in 01/06, and had dad 24/7, WOW. They were married 56 years. So I know pretty much first hand what you are going through. My brothers also did nothing.

Like Adj4u said, just tell her you love her, spend time with her so she is not feeling all alone. Your dad will have to deal with the issues too, she is still adjusting to the loss of her husband. You are doing a good thing being there for her though. Take care.
