[quote=Anonymous]I think every single person has to find the right balance of what they can handle without feeling incredible resentment and burnout. There is no formula for what you owe. If your parents were genuinely loving, you will most likely want to do more.However, let's say with dementia that loving parent turns abusive. Do you make yourself physically and emotionally sick helping because you feel like you owe? No, you make sure that parent has proper care from hired help and you do the best you can to check on things without allowing abuse. It may even be you manage things from behind the scenes and make sure those who work with parent are pros at dealing with difficult behavior.[/quote]
