[quote=Anonymous]My parents were similar in that they were totally uninvolved in their own parents’ aging and so, thought they were invincible. They ended up relying on me to take care of so much for them when they finally realized they were not invincible. They had not been involved in my life or that of my children except in the most surface manner. I had a lot of the same feelings discussed. In the end, though, I think you have to accept that you are now the adult and they have become the children. If you don’t want to have regrets, it’s probably best to make your peace with the situation and, to handle it with the best sympathy and grace that you can.[/quote]
