[quote=Anonymous]No, I never resented my parents for being alive. I’d give anything for a few more hours with my Mom. What I did resent was not having more resources/ a larger family to share in the caregiving and other responsibilities. I also felt torn, in my parents last days — that my wish for more time with them was in conflict with what they were enduring. I do resent the impact that my caregiving responsibilities— that I willingly took on — have had on other aspects of my life, but I resented society, not my parents. (As in: being the legal next of kin planning for hospital discharges wasn’t about my parents or even their needs — it was about insurance, and the way this country truly doesn’t value and support the elderly or family caregivers.)[/quote]
