[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most parents believe they won't need help, say they would never ask for help, but when the time comes that former belief and promise flies right out the window.[/quote] This thread is not about believing you won't need help or never asking for help. It's about being proactive, which doesn't mean there won't be plenty of problems. I can tell you that I and many in my friend group are dealing with parents who buried their heads in the sand about what aging might look like for them-even when family history pointed to some potential for alarming issues. There's a lot of magical thinking about what a adult child with their own kids, spouse and job can do for someone determined to age in place in a location that is not walkable and not aging friendly.[/quote]
