[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Food for thought. I won't get into the details of our situation, but my parents' needs are much less intense than those described in these responses. Nevertheless, I understand that she might be burnt out and/or fearful of their mortality. PPs, can you comment on how these experiences impacted your relationships with your siblings? [/quote] I'm the first poster. At first I resented my brother for not helping out as much as I was/not bearing the brunt of my parent's attitudes. But he was incredibly appreciative of all I was doing and when I told him I needed to take a break, he was supportive and said he'd step up/help me however I could. I never did tell him how mean my mother was/is to me because I didn't want to make him feel bad or think less of our mom. Honestly, if my brother acted like how you appear to want to act, it probably would have destroyed our relationship. [/quote]
