Good response, Socrates.

People get really weird when things like money and health and respect are on the line. They'll turn one of those things into the other in their head, and then act like a child because they're not getting what they want.

Somebody here has to be the grown-up. Sounds like you're it.

Don't rise to the bait--just shrug off anything that you think means "expecting perfection". I mean, you're not perfect, are you? Is anybody? So they tell you you're not perfect. That's news? Ok, fine, what next. Keep coming from how you can make the difference in the situation, because you can.
