I think part of the reason why old people get abandoned is due to Nepal's culture as well. In Nepal always a son has to look after parents, and not hte daughters.Daughters have to be maried off and sent to their husbands house. Once they get married they may not be able to support their parents, so I think our culture and our perception has to be changed as well. It is as much daughter's responsibility to look after the parents as it is for sons. So i think daughters should also try to move forward be the sole care takeer of their parents.
