[quote=Anonymous]Usually one spouse helps the other. One spouse covers for the other. Or figures it next-step, if you are lucky. When only one spouse is left, that's when adult children really need to step-up. It would seem that, ideally, it could happen sooner but everyone stays in denial until there is a crisis. That seems universal. Maybe it's nature's way of extending the good-enough. Anyway, adult children are usually real late to the reality that they are now the most competent adult in the room and need to take the reins. And risk making Mommy or Daddy mad, in order to keep them safe.[/quote]
