[quote=Anonymous]It wasn’t as extreme as your parents, but I had a similar situation. I took my mom aside in a quiet moment and told her how impressed I was with everything she was doing for Dad, but that I was terrified that I was going to lose both parents. I also asked her to help me understand their finances and what I needed to do in case she dies first and it falls on me to made decisions for my dad. It was a painful conversation but it did scare her stratight and she did start taking some small steps to take care of herself and to make some independent arrangements for my dad. Good luck to you. I understand how stressful this is. [/quote]
