Meanwhile back in reality..

Could anyone please explain the parts in bold? Would it be grammatically correct if I write "accept" instead of "accepting" here?


Meanwhile back in reality, most will drain your bank account, stress you into an early grave, and create unnecessary problems in your life while never accepting personal responsibility for their own toxicity.

Back in reality usually refers to going back to your "normal" life. Like if you go on holiday, have a great, then go back to work you could say something like "back to reality".

Stress you into an early grave means that something will give you so much stress it will kill you.

I don't believe you can write "accept" here.
