[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think you’re obligated to sacrifice your own needs or well-being to help your older family members, but you also don’t have to “match” the level of support they once gave you. Given your history, it’s reasonable that you wouldn’t need to uproot your lives or become their primary caregivers. I think the goal should be to do what you are genuinely comfortable with and can feel good about. Ideally, your support comes from generosity and love. It sounds like you have some possible feelings of guilt, pressure, or resentment regarding what you think you "should" be doing, and that level may be too much, so find the level that you are comfortable with.[/quote]
