[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hate to break it to you but just b/c you have kids doesn't mean they will take care of you...ask people in ASL and SNF many of them have children.[/quote] Yeah, but it seems as if a lot of childless people are counting on nieces and nephews, which doesn’t seem too realistic. [/quote] It's not realistic. Also with all the divorces, you go through a living hell caring for a dad who is declining with dementia and 29 other things going wrong who is difficult and 8 years into it, he passes away. Then angry hostile mom needs care and you've had it. You have nothing to give her. Then you find out you have your own illness and your therapist says it's time for you to take care of you. Siblings don't step up. You have nothing to give volatile declining mom and then aunty expects you to run out and care for her post surgery?No.[/quote]
