[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents weren’t perfect by any means but my sister and I would never ever have considered throwing them to the wolves in old age. We took turns showing grace.[/quote] It's up to you. They trained you well. Co-dependency is real and so is manipulation. Obviously people with happy and well-adjusted parents don't come here to complain, so it doesn't make sense to cry here how you showed grace and so should everybody else. How your children will treat you will not depend whether you showed grace or not. It'll depend on how you treated them, whether you were there for them, whether you were a kind parent who had a handle on their mental health. Just like any other relationships you may or may not have. Your children are not different from other humans. There are also plenty of elders without children and you don't see them crying here why others don't do what they want, they have figured out that nothing is for granted. [/quote]
