[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You absolutely should make your own physical issue the priority. They assume when the sh*T hits the fan we can always just hop to and don't even think we could have our own problems. The only place where I disagree with you is assuming it would be so much easier if they lived closer. You really cannot ask too much of relatives and risk burning bridges and you yourself would easily burn out. I did after enough years.

I completely agree with you advice to others. Draw those boundaries hard and with no guilt especially if you have a family of takers. Besides having my own illness what made it easier for me is the lack of appreciation I got for all the years I sacrificed my sanity, family time, work, etc to be there for emergencies, check on things, etc.[/quote]

Oh, I agree. I meant that I could help my sister more without putting my own physical health in danger. If they were willing to sell, they’d be sitting on at least 650K, which at their age, would be immensely helpful regarding getting extra help in, assisted living choices, etc.[/quote]
