I went "no contact" 13 years ago. She hasn't been much of a mother or grandmother. She better not ask me for shit.

It was my absolute honor and privilege to take care of my mother in her later years. I can’t imagine doing anything other than that.

What people do not understand is caregiving is a 24 hour job, especially if the parent has dementia. Working will be impossible and there is very little resources available to those who care for elderly parents at home.

My husband is 15 years older than me. We have had this discussion. I will not be his caregiver under any circumstances. I will be a visitor.

your parents didn't have to ask themselves nothing / they were prepared to take care of you...PERIOD

If my brothers don't help, then I won't either. It's not the daughter's responsibility, its everyone's responsibility

I’ve been uploading my videos on care giving burnout. I am the only one and I have unresolved resentment towards my parent. I would give anyone this advice, it is very true.. thank you so much. I am crawling my way out of this slowly

It is hard but I would do it over and over again. It’s called love and respect.

I’m not. I live across the country from them for the majority of my adult life. I have no plans of ever living close to them again. 🤷🏽♀️

I am going to save up for a robot because care-giving is definitely challenging.

I’m the sole caregiver for my mom. I’ve been doing it in some capacity off and on since I was 15. I love my mom dearly, but it definitely has affected my life with often no acknowledgement. I love her and we have a good relationship, so I do it. But it does come with major sacrifices. I have given up parts of my life, and childhood wounds definitely get a highlight!!

Stephanie Ann :
Yep, I cared for my mom. We had a great relationship but being a caregiver was miserable. She had dementia. I did it all until I couldn’t anymore and put her in memory care, luckily it was a nice place and I went there almost daily to make sure she was well taken care of.

I was the caregiver for my mom & a lot of what your saying is true, I was the one doing the most, I moved from the 🇺🇸 to Dominican Republic, lived with my mom she passed away a month ago do I regret it, not really, I sacrificed a lot I told my daughters never to do the same it’s not their responsibility, I believe we need to plan for our old age 🙏

💯 don’t do it! I will never put that kind of responsibility on anyone and recommend to others don’t leave the caregiver responsibility to your children!
