[quote=Anonymous]I’m in this situation right now and have been for the last 2 years. My aunt has no children or other living family that she is close to. I’m her healthcare and financial POA. She is in a nursing home so she has caregivers but early on she expected me to visit multiple times a week which was really stressful since I have kids with SN and an elderly parent. The visits are what had to go sadly for me to keep my sanity. These days I call her most days, pay her bills, check on her home which she isn’t ready to sell (but will need to be addressed), deal with caregivers and providers, etc. While it’s very stressful some weeks, I don’t think there’s any chance I could live with myself if I didn’t help out. But I would never want my kids to be in this position. [/quote]
