When the only son of an aged couple leaves his parental home along with his wife to take up a new job offer , without their consent...what should these people do ? His parents are not financially well-off and his dad is suffering from arthritis . They had spent a huge portion of the savings on his son's education and later on his marriage in the hope that their son will be their support in theie oldage and also they will get a daughter-in-law as a daughter they never had.

I am sure the son will not change his mind over his aged parents, but what they can do is apply for social security service. Do call a charity organisation in your country. Sure helps.

In India there is no social security service . But the mushrooming of agter.e-old homes point out to the grim reality that India needs to implement the same.Sooner the bet

Leaving one's parental home doesn't mean that a son or daughter abandons his/her parents. Nothing gives children the right to abandon their parents. If the son's parents really needs looking after then they can find ways to have someone do it. But they cannot abandon the parents. Ever.

I think if the only option is for the son to leave than he also has a family to think about on the condition that he doesn't forget his parents. If he can send them money or maybe even hire someone to go by daily to make sure his parents are ok. His parents sacrificed their lives for him, and the least he can do is show his appreciation.
