[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think men find it easier to have boundaries. Women will have no boundaries, get totally enmeshed and burned out, play the martyr and stir up drama rather than doing what they can handle. I used to be so filled with rage toward the sibling who did little and was concerned the GC. I am saying this as a woman who got burned out and depressed dealing with my elderly parents and all their issues for 8 years. There was no appreciation or value for my time after a while. I have learned to set boundaries and detach so I am not filled with resentment and anger so much. Try it.[/quote] Wow I hear you and fully believe you. Yes I agree setting boundaries is important for combatting Female Carer Burnout. Structural societal supports are needed as well. Not disproportionately blaming mothers and daughters for all family Problems would help too. [/quote]
