Shocking... Scary... I saw myself in this portrayal... except that I have kept my own house, kept working even if part time, and reduced my outgoings, all so I could take care of parents... brother lives one door down. I. a two hour drive away...

He does help out... mainly does the repairs, taking for hospital appointments...

But giving massages, food prep, house cleaning and emotional sustenance , not just going around to do a task is what I've been doing for years and years...

While also facing very nasty scapegoating type of treatment. I am in my third month of more or less, no contact. Building myself back up. The trauma of being disrespected while overstretching myself in the caregiver role, is dissipating now, somewhat.

This article gave me goosebumps.
