[quote=Anonymous]I am the sibling who is far away and cannot help with my elderly parents. My unmarried brother lives with them and does the lion’s share of caregiving. My oldest sister, a retired doctor, lives in the same neighborhood but does very little except the occasional quick drop-in to check their health or drop off a baked good. My other sister lives there but has a mental illness and helps out a little but has difficulty with executive functioning. I listen to my brother vent and try to be as supportive as possible. I do not ever criticize him or let my parents criticize him. It is the least I can do. I try to visit twice a year by myself and lend a hand. [/quote]
