[quote=Anonymous]I can relate so much to the posters dealing with the agony of distance eldercare. It is triggering in me depression and anxiety from all the worry and stress. I too have a family and FT job far from my loved one but worry every day her. I manage all her caregivers, sone finances and other issues on top of taking care of my own kids and family and my own declining mental health in the face of all this. It’s terrible. I know it could be worse, I try to talk myself out of despair. I totally get the anger that our loved ones did not plan better or think about how they would manage in these elder years. Now it is our burden. We accept it reluctantly as we are sacrificing so much. Usually it is the daughters who do. The sons seem to vanish, most often. [/quote]
