[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, I would only worry about the trouble it brings you if something happens. Since she is an adult and you are not obligated to go save her from some hospital abroad, I would let her be. Just have some boundaries in mind, like, I’ll rescue her from X situation but not Y. [/quote] This, but I think the right thing to do is communicate the boundaries. We found with age our parents got more self-centered and less empathetic. it didn't matter what stressors and demands we had, they expected to do as they pleased AND have us rescue at a moment's notice. We had to make it clear what we could and could not do for them. People who only dealt with a emergency or 2 sometimes don't understand, but we have been dealing with emergencies for a decade. it becomes unsustainable and can erode your physical and mental health.[/quote]
