Madness

[Gettingbysomehow]

My parents in their late 80s have told us their children without any discussion at all that they are selling up everything they own and moving to a tropical island.
Neither of them are well, think diabetes and repeated heart attacks.
There is one hospital on the island which is extremely basic and anything urgent you have to go to the nearest big country a two hour flight for treatment.
We are beside ourselves with worry, they both have full capacity so there is nothing we can do about it.
The house is already on the market.
You can be damned sure if anything happens to them it will have to be me that takes two flights to this place to get to them.
I'm just so furious they are doing this, they are bound to get robbed as well.
I don't know why I'm posting just interested in what people think.

Are they still alive? This was posted six months ago.

I’m also interested to hear if they did move, and how they found it. Hope it all went smoothly for them and for you.

The only thing you can do, is tell them that the choice they've made means if anything happen you won't be able to be there fior them and that they will have to take full responsibility for their own health and circumstances.
