[quote=Anonymous] Please recommend. Thank you. Both planned well for retirement, but I am dealing with other issues. They refuse my help and complain incessantly to me about the other. Mother in beginning stages of dementia taking care of father who has progressed more. Siblings are little help. They swoop in now and then, give solutions like they are giving orders and swoop back feeling like they saved the day. I don't mind being their primary point of contact because I love my parents and feel like they have been great parents, but my brother and sister seem to require headpats for the little they do and while I would never guilt trip, it is exhausting dealing with their need for praise. So I think it would help to have online support. I am married with kids of my own. With my parents I feel like I am dealing with angry adolescents and with my brother and sister I am dealing with special snowflakes who need a standing ovation for something I just do.[/quote]
