[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some siblings feel their time, feelings, energy, work, friends, etc., are more important than those of their siblings. It seems ‘right,’ to them that they wouldn’t be impacted by eldercare and that siblings bear the responsibility. It’s a sad zero-sum game dynamic in some families. Very damaging to relationships in the long run. [/quote] I'm glad you brought this up. This is so true and something that was so clear to me and yet I had never articulated. In our case, the same sibling supported mom's insistence on aging in place. When her abusive behavior and firing of aides became too much after enough years we burned out. Now it's on that sibling to deal. She just assumed we would endure endless abuse and emergencies and her job was fancier than ours and so she was too important to lift a finger. Curious to see if changes her tune on AL and Memory Care.[/quote]
