I am an 85-year-old with adult children that do not get along with each other. They only speak negatively of their siblings. I am not really sure what the issue is. Right now, I am worried that they will not be able to agree or work together to coordinate care for me in the future. I realize that my concern is self-serving, but the way they behave has got me worried. Every family gathering results in someone storming out after heated words, or silence and avoidance all around. Is there a way to get them together and appreciate that they have siblings? I want them to get along!
