[quote=Anonymous]My mother (76) has extreme anxiety and suffers from panic attacks and health related fears. She has a number of other physical issues that are not life threatening or severe but problematic. My parents live in europe. She cannot be without my dad (80) for longer than a few hours and is HUGELY codependent on him. She will call him and panic about things (usually health related) down the phone to him. She has a psychiatrist (although it's a good question as to whether her medication is as well managed as it could be, though she is pretty functional). I have NO idea what to do when he passes away which likely will be in the next ten years. She needs a constant companion and someone to calm her down at all times. I have a 7 and 9 year old, a v stressful full time job and i live in the US. How can I be a good daughter but protect my life from becoming completely unsustainable?[/quote]
