[quote=Anonymous]Every child of an ailing parent I know has helped them unless: 1. They had a psychiatric disorder that made them dysfunctional and too self-obsessed to care about others. 2. They had suffered abuse or neglect as children at the hands of that parent. 3. They lived too far away. Now when I say "help", I do see that some adult children help more than others. But everyone not in the 3 categories above does something. And even the ones in 3 send money, or call regularly, or try in some way to be involved. My husband lives a continent away from his ailing mother, but he's the only doctor in the family, and he supervises her medical care from afar. [/quote]
