Why are so many elderly abandoned by grown up children.

That's a huge assumption to make! What is your evidence for this? Bearing in mind that one example is an anecdote, not statistical data.

Not my experience either, what backs this up, or is it just a personal thought

I know many who currently feel totally at odds with their parents opinion on a certain major issue. They just don't want to argue and fall out, so they are just keeping away.

Nor mine. Where is this happening?

Where have you seen this? It is not what I see around me.

It is a fact that a lot of elderly are not visited by their grown up family. No falling out, just indifference. How have things come to this?
