[quote=Anonymous]We had siblings who are local and retired do nothing to help, would barely visit, never call, and were pretty blatant about it. It's like it was a game to see who would have to do the most and the least. It really hurt. The parents missed them. It's difficult to want to spend time with the siblings now, and we know not to depend on them. As others have noted, eldercare can go on for a long time, and ours did. By the end, we were exhausted and frazzled. It didn't have to be that way, had others helped. They've never acknowledged our work or said thank you. It's painful. I don't have any advice for OP on how to resolve her situation. We did tell family how we were feeling and asked for specific help. They simply would not do it. All I can tell the OP is that they are not alone in this situation and wish them well. [/quote]
