came home from academy around 7~7:20 my family was eating with dark expressions and my mom was drinking bokbunja
my mom talked about the nursing home where grandpa is. i thought a nursing home would be nice, but fuck they tied his arms and legs and put a diaper on him. that's what they did. and the conversation was even worse - when my mom visited, grandpa asked if he could go to the bathroom, they said no, so he just put his diaper back on. there's fucking nothing i can do about this. it really hurts like my heart is tearing apart but i can't do anything
then my mom cried for a while and said
she got married at 24 and didn't know anything
our grandpa always took care of her like his own daughter, asking if she slept well, if she was hungry
if she had enough rice, if she had food, if she was eating well
but fuck, what i can do is just have him lie in a place as hard as prison, with a mind that's not even intact, not able to go to the bathroom, tied up every day, not moving, just lying there. of course nothing changes just because i barely write this. what i want to say is just call your grandpa or grandma when you can, or send a message, even just one sentence. thanks for reading this long post.
Reading this really makes me think... Even though people know the conditions are poor, they can't be bothered to care for their elderly parents and just leave them in nursing homes, which makes me wonder if that's why such institutions keep existing

looking at those nursing home dementia old farts, euthanasia seems like the answer.
