[quote=Anonymous]DH and I anticipate that his parents will need financial support from us and his siblings beginning in the next year or so, perhaps as soon as when we see them later this month. I am ok with this because they have always been hardworking and responsible, and are really nice folks who always put family first. FIL's employer closed in the recession and he was never able to find anything that paid as well. MIL worked until recently, but never earned much, and is starting to show signs of early dementia and FIL will increasingly need to care for her. So I am fine with the idea of picking up some of the bills (but would rather not just give cash due to the dementia). My question is: how do family conversations about this begin? It seems so awkward and painful to talk about. Do we wait until asked? Meet with siblings beforehand? Should just DH talk with them? Please advise. TIA.[/quote]
