[quote=Anonymous]OP, it is so frustrating and difficult to be the primary caregiver for a parent with dementia. The truth is, it absolutely sucks no matter what. Even if your sibling behaved “perfectly,” it would suck. And while their tone may be rude and unhelpful, it sounds like your sibling may mean well - be trying to take your parent’s side, or advocate for her, or something. I don’t have a solution except to try to show as much grace and compassion towards your sibling as you can, as often as you can. It won’t make anything z “better” but it might be more productive. I think it’s okay to fake it too (as long as you try to fake it well and not in a passive aggressive way). It might still work. [/quote]
