Welcome to the board maybeit,


My guess is that he knows how stressful taking care of his parents is on him, and he is worried to get your too involved out of fear that you will become really stressed too. My suggestion would be to tell him that you want to make them dinner some night and that you aren't taking no for answer. Then try to slowly work into helping out more and more.
