[quote=Anonymous]OP we did and I regret it. For the first few years it felt good to be able to help and they were appreciative. Over time things changed. Mom became very demanding and entitled and my siblings insisted I take care of things since I was the closest. It enabled them for too long to age in place when that was not ideal. I had to throw a fit for one to end up in memory care and it really made a positive difference. (No this was not 2 love birds separated. It was 2 people I was afraid would kill eachother if they had the strength.) They were incredibly nasty to eachother even when one didn't know who the other one was. I think if I had been farther away they would have been forced to make positive moves sooner. There are no easy answers, but my health has taken a turn for the worse dealing with them so often and impossible siblings. I truly love my parents and wanted to support them. No good deeds go unpunished sometimes. [/quote]
