[quote=Anonymous]I agree your aunt probably, unintentionally, indicated you would be providing care for her. Social workers & lots of medical workers often have surprisingly terrible communication skills. One probably asked your aunt if anyone would be around to help, not being clear 24/7 care, and she replied my niece will help. They just want to get her out and check a box. Others are right, you & your sister need to let your parents hit bottom. Social workers can't force your parents to do anything. Basically the SW interactions with your parents are for them to feel they were heard & supported, not come up with actual solutions. Elderly parents are like tantruming toddlers. Selfish, self-centered, lacking in empathy, difficult, insecure, scared, and incapable.[/quote]
