Found his father in the garbage house

Four years ago, photographer Mehmet Kapılı, living in Belediye Evleri Mahallesi in Çukurova district, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. His son Özgür Kapılı, a father of four, went to work as a seasonal laborer in Bodrum, Muğla, six months ago. Allegedly, S.K., Mehmet Kapılı's spouse, showed no interest in taking care of him. Due to his busy work schedule, Özgür Kapılı couldn't come to Adana, but he regularly communicated with his mother and received positive updates about his father's health.

He added that he was shocked by the condition of the house when he returned to Adana six months ago, as it was not like this before. He searched through all the closets and found that there were no belongings of his mother. He suspects that she goes outside, only providing her father with one meal and a glass of water a day. Despite all this, he believes she goes about her life as if nothing is wrong. Özgür Kapılı ended by saying, "My mother is as good as dead. I will make a dessert in her honor and distribute it to everyone before she actually dies. That's my promise." As for the elderly man, it was reported that his condition is improving while he continues to receive treatment in the hospital.
