[quote=Anonymous]You don’t really have an aging parent problem. You have a sibling problem. You just need to realize that your sibling is never going to be happy with anything you do. And then let it go. I do think it is a little strange you seem to be calculating what to do based on parental financial help over the years. But whatever. The reality is your sibling is going to control both the actual events and the narrative. So, just accept that and do what you are willing to do in the circumstances you have. FWIW, I’m not close with my dad (mom died). I don’t feel any need to handle his aging issues. He remarried and his wife is young and healthy enough to be able to handle things. But it isn’t some strange calculation about what he paid for. He wasn’t a great parent and we have somewhat limited contact. It is fine. Now, his wife will control both the actual events and the narrative — but I don’t care.[/quote]
