[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. This is helpful advice for me: do not have an idealistic expectation that brother will agree to a master list and a perpetual commitment to take on tasks x, y and z. Do not expect a cathartic talk. Discuss specific needs. I will just need to be careful not to become the default “manager”. Thanks very much for this, sincerely. Many of you got stuck on what a “typical” 68 year old should be able to do. That line of commenting was neither sought nor helpful. [/quote] Your brother is already signaling he has the opinion that many of us have: you are enabling her helplessness. You have taken on the manager role already, managing her imaginary “needs.” You can back out slowly but that is going to be messy. You created this problem, though, so you have to deal with it.[/quote]
