[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are a very good person OP. [b]I think the reality of the U.S. caregiving is such that many kids don’t see their parents age up close and when the inevitable decline happens they are shocked and surprised.[/b] I think it’s normal that you are still in shock, but I am sure you are doing the best you possibly can. I say this as someone who is pretty consumed by caregiving as well, though I have a child going into high school and I should be forgiving on my career more. I think it’s a weird escape route for me (not saying it is for you, just sharing). [/quote] +1 - ish. My parents are in their early 80's and are doing really well, but they live halfway across the country. They totally hide stuff from my brother and I. And I remember my grandparents doing the same. They were covering for each other.[/quote]
