- 2Carolyn Hax on in-law anxiety and hurtful 'senile' label●Column | Carolyn Hax: One in-law has anxiety, so she can treat the other as ‘senile’?
Advice columnist Carolyn Hax takes on a family dispute in which one in-law's anxiety is being used to justify treating another relative as 'senile'. The column examines whether a mental health struggle excuses dismissive or demeaning behaviour toward an elderly family member, and how relatives should set boundaries when in-laws clash over care and respect.
