[quote=Anonymous]Betrayal? No, because some people are delusional about what aging looks like and how they will age. Some people are downright selfish in what they expect their adult children to endure for years and years. Too often the ones who live a long time in a state of dementia and illness leave a legacy of siblings who now hate eachother, illness in the person who endured the most and resentment. I think it's a betrayal to not be realistic about aging to bury one's head in the sand and expect everyone to upend their lives and make you more of a priority than their own children and spouse. I might have said something different a few years into this. After enough years I am so over the entitlement and delusion.[/quote]
