Hi Lar
I just thought I'd put my 2cents in too. I also take care of my mom after a divorce. She's very young to be depending on me. She is only 53. I am 37. but she can't seem to find her way without my step father. She doesn't work, her health in failing and now she is having panic attacks. I think it is our responsiblity to care for our parents at some point. But how much do we do? I'm sure your parents are older than mine, but I know the feeling of just mentioning their name brings stress. All I can say is, do all you can while you can and let the rest go. Most of all let them know you love them, even when you're not doing everything they wish you were doing. And by all means, take a break. Make sure they are ok, and go away. It will help. I've done it. Keep your chin up and tomorrow is a new day.
Thanks for your thoughts on my bro. I appreciate it.
Mel
