[quote=Anonymous] None of my family members or friends live close to their parents, indeed many of us are international, with parents living abroad. I have close family in Europe and Asia, and only one distant cousin here in my area. With my background, I have a hard time sympathizing with your mother. Doesn't she understand that people want to see the world, and have jobs that cannot transfer easily, etc??? I would never begrudge my children for this. By the time they're adults the world will have changed even more and they may end up on the other side of the world, like me with my parents, or my father with his parents! Your mother may have some form of dementia, or, as you say, depression. But none of this is your fault and you shouldn't feel bad or pile guilt on your sibling. You can encourage her to consult her doctor, or accompany her to one next time you're in town. [/quote]
