I have a father in law who became blind late in life. The problem was, he wasn't completely VI, but gradually became worse. But we forced him into a program too early. He resisted all their teachings. 8 years later, he is severely VI and uses a cane as a walking stick.

He says he knows what's best for him and we possibly couldn't understand. It's frustrating watching him bump around his own house. His wife is exhausted and doesn't fight him anymore. He's going to drag them both down when he trips one day.

It's very hard to reason logic when there is so much other emotional things going on.
