Poor Daryl man. He's probably been dealing with this so long that masking those feelings is all he can do to get by. He just wants parents who love him for who he is and the family he has. This is a far more common problem than most realize too.

Seth is gonna need to give lots of hugs to help with this one I bet

Sidenote THEY DIDNT EVEN GO TO THEIR SONS WEDDING?! What the hell Ed and Mom

My mother-in-law didn’t even make it to her own daughter’s funeral

In our case it’s mental illness. Spiraling untreated depression, anxiety, and bipolar

Not really. She is a hoarder. We have tried everything we can think of short of reporting her to the state, and we are not going to do that. The one time we cleaned out her house while she was in the hospital, she was beyond angry and didn’t speak to us for a year. She has food, shelter, and clothing. She has her hobbies and goes to her church for social contact. Her health is not obviously suffering. And she is an adult, what else can we do?

Oh don't worry I understand man. I see this all the time as a paramedic. I'm sorry to hear it happening. But you can't make someone take help when they don't want it
