That person may have suffered some emotional abuse at the hands of the parent and may still have unresolved feelings of anger toward the parent. Or, the adult child may suffer from self-esteem issues; those who feel powerless themselves often use criticism to increase their own sense of control over others. If you feel that this is a case of elder abuse, please call the elder abuse hotline in your area. You might also choose to discuss this with your uncle as he may be unaware of the effect his actions are having on other family members.

What are the different forms that elder abuse can take?
Different forms of elder abuse:If the adult child of an elderly person is looking after their aged parent it is a difficult and frustrating task to be a caregiver. The adult child may have children of her own and on top of that meet the needs of an aging parent. This can lead to short bursts of temper if the elderly parents refuses to take medications; eat, etc. This can lead into forms of slapping; force feeding the parent; dumping food on their parent; leaving the parent to sit in their own urine and feces as punishment and not meet their medical needs or leaving them alone while they go out. This is the time when the adult child should get a caregiver in or put their parent into a decent nursing home.Some nursing homes can give limited care to the elderly and some of these cases have been made public in the media. Some nurses are not capable of the constant needs of several elderly people in the nursing home that they must look after and they can be rough as far as handling a patient with arthritis (often severe arthritis); they can bully by hitting, slapping or not attending to the needs particular patient. They may let the patient lay in bed without moving them into different positions so they do not sustain bed sores which can cause infection and are extremely painful.If a mate in a marriage is elderly; has health problems or possibly the start of Alzheimer's or in full blown Alzheimer's it is not uncommon for their elderly mate to become abusive. In many cases the elderly abuser is not responsible for their abuse because they are often ill themselves. It is up to the children of those parents to be sure they have the proper care to be as comfortable as possible in their lives until their time comes to pass away. Children should check in on their elderly parents often. This can be difficult for one sibling, but if there are several siblings each should take turns looking out for their parents and their needs. If all siblings do not live in the same town or city as their parents they should visit their parents as often as possible to size up the situation their elderly parents are in and if need be put them into a nursing home where they will receive 24/7 care.Even the elderly that are lucky enough to still get around in society are at the hands of those that seek to abuse the elderly by purse snatching; robbing their homes and possibly physically harming that elderly person. Society today (not all people) consider the elderly useless; mindless and that they do not know what is going on, but many elderly people are very aware (even though they are slower to react) and the elderly are often short changed while purchasing items; purposely confused to invest money, etc.Siblings, relatives, friends of the elderly may feel that the elderly person does not need some of the expensive items they may have in their home and the elderly are often robbed by their own families. It is not uncommon before the death of the elderly that is some cases the adult siblings will argue who gets what from their parents.These are a few of the forms of elder abuse and it's on the rise in the Western countries.
