We always look for Mom and Dad for guidance, encouragement and support. Now for many adult children, these roles have been and are being reversed.
What tools do these adult children have in place to become the caregivers of the parents? How do we mother Mom and father Dad? Where are the boundaries? Do we care for them in our home or do we move in with them? What about adult day centers if we — the adult children — are still working outside the home? Have we thought of assisted living, in-home support or even nursing care facilities?
I want to share this article with you and look forward to hearing your feedback.
Remember, Caregivers need care too.
