[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am in a similar situation in that I have two parents (divorced) needing care (including dementia) and I am the sibling living away. This is also a difficult position to be in. I am sorry that I now longer live at home but I can't change that. You need to make specific requests of your siblings that they can do. My siblings think I somehow know what needs to be done and can just do it when in fact I have no idea. My parents' decline has ruined the relationship I had with my siblings. Before that, I was on okay terms with one and was best friends with the other. Now all the fighting about the parental workload has ruined that, maybe forever. Don't burn yourself out. Communicate with them and tell them what you need. [/quote] This is sad. You had me until the last sentence. How about ask them what they need [/quote]
