This short story is about elder abuse. Andrew is a widower confined to a wheelchair. His son, Tom, has forgotten how to treat his father with respect. An alcoholic, he torments his father and demands money. Andrew is his son's victim but one day he decides enough is enough.

Not enough is being written about elder abuse.  We seem to hear more about this issue taking place in large care facilities.   I believe more attention needs to be paid to the domestic violence and elder abuse taking place in too many Canadian homes.  Baby boomers are coming into their senior years and unfortunately too many of them are suffering abuse at the hands of their own family members. 

Andrew's Achievement is free for your reading pleasure in the Kindle Store on all Amazon sites.

This short story dares to stand alone but it is also a part of a short story anthology; one of twelve stories in Social Studies, Book Two -  Shattered and Broken  which is available in both Kindle and Paperback formats on all Amazon sites.   It is also available in paperback from createspace.com and the link to this book is https://www.createspace.com/4713265
