[quote=Anonymous]No, but my stepdad left right before my mom died and I was still a kid. My aunt who adopted me and took me in after all I can't care for on a daily basis either. I will go visit and help with planning, but that is it. She was not a kind parent, not involved, and makes no effort with her 'grandkids' (my kids she doesn't have her own bio children). I don't remember huge chunks of my childhood because I blocked it out. She knows this and is set up for an assisted living facility in the next few years. I really tried to have a relationship with her especially when I had kids, but there is no reciprocation. It depends on the relationship, but also what happens later in life. If you are busy with work, sick parents, elderly in-laws there is just so much time in the day. We all need to plan for elder care that will just go up in cost as people live longer. [/quote]
