Im one of 4 siblings. Only one lives near my parents - But is no support and completely self absorbed. I live in Europe, DB in Canada, other sister is 2 hours away.
I have just found out via a relative that a few weeks back my Mum feel over walking to Church. Badly bruised and scraped her face. Didn’t tell anyone. And my Dad - who usually cant keep anything to himself - didn’t mention it either.
Im a combination of annoyed, worried and exasperated.
I wondered why she hadn’t been video calling me recently.
She is in her late 60s. Pretty healthy and active. But very private and stoic
I’m not sure what I’m asking. It’s just frustrating

Your mother 'fell over'.
She did not 'have a fall'
To those of us thinking about aging, the difference is critical 😁

It sounds as if she was as ok as you might have been if you had tripped in the same place. (How would you feel about someone giving you unsolicited advice about walking after such an event?)

Glad she is still fit and well despite a bit of bruising!

He yanked me up and shouted at me that I couldn't stop as I was on a personal best

@Somanycats A supportive loving caring family is a great gift, isn't it? 😆
