[quote=Anonymous]Op, I feel for you. I am in a somewhat similar situation. Caring for abusive parents can bring up a lot of unresolved issues. The best thing to do is figure out what you can/cannot do and communicate this. Prepare for hostile responses because your brother/family are probably very stressed and will release this on you as a target. Will likely bring up trauma about historical abuse. In all honesty, it sounds like your family has a lot of help already lined up. I wonder how much of this is your sibling expecting perfection and wanting to go above and beyond, versus facing reality and understanding that sometimes you have to accept you can’t do it all as a caregiver and sometimes it has to be good enough, and the parents will be ok. I am sure I will be roasted for this, but this is reality when caregivers have jobs, young children and their own health issues and mental health to take care of. [/quote]
