[quote=Anonymous]I had to “rescue” my mother from overseas. She had an Alzheimer crisis during Covid lockdown. As soon as flights resumed, I flew to bring her here. She is a US citizen and had US health insurance. I quit my job, and take care of her. I am married with two kids; also an only child. I wonder what will happen in twenty years or so from now, with all these “onlies” who were born to older parents. I am in that situation now, and it is a huge challenge. I did reach out to some state programs that provide free respite and $$ for in-home care. It isn’t a lot, but it helps. I have had to miss so many of my kids events. I hate being tied to my house, and secretly hope my mom declines quickly and peacefully. [/quote]
