Oh David <<<HUGS>>> -- I am so glad you brought this here. The tension must make everything so much harder. Michael sounds angry at his Mom for being sick and needing his help.
I would consider scheduling shifts for caring for Linda so that Michael is "off duty" and you are on duty at designated times. Maybe your insurance would cover visits from a home health nurse -- a nurse might come in and see ways to make life easier, medication logs, etc. I wish I lived nearby and could try to ease the load for you all in some way.
But mostly just want to say, you are right to insist that everyone be compassionate to each other through this difficult time.
