[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this somewhat of a class issue? I am an immigrant but close friends with 5-6 American families, parents are well off ( 3 have second homes on the eastern seaboard of MD). However, in 2-3 cases parents developed health issues and our friends (their kids) brought them home to live with them. Now, keep in mind there are millions in inheritance in all these scenarios, but I always thought and it appears so that our friends genuinely respect and love their parents and are happy to support them during their old age.

Not once have I heard a comment like the ones I am reading on this forum, so maybe it is the case that parents did right by their kids and now kids are returning the favor. I am so confused reading this thread as my experience with American families taking care of parents has been positive.[/quote]

The internet is anonymous and people will say more via an anonymous message board than they will in real life. Esp when it comes to touchy topics.

Which is why I tell people in person that my mom lives in substandard subsidized senior living only bc she cant handle the stairs in my house. Versus on DCUM it is ok for me to say that she is an emotionally abusive terrible person who I will never allow into my home to mistreat my children the way she did me. [/quote]
