And the clock is running. Trustee of a Family Trust is the plain-English field guide to doing t...

The text from your sister doesn't even end in a question mark: 'So you'll take Mom, right?' The discharge planner is waiting. Your spouse has gone quiet. And somewhere underneath the panic is a feeling you're not supposed to admit out loud - you do not want this. Not the daily lifting, not the lost career, not the decades of history this would reopen. And the moment you think it, the guilt arrives to tell you what kind of person that makes you. I Don't Want to Be the Caregiver is for the o...

You were fed, clothed and often loved. So why do you still feel like you are waiting for a parent to understand you, and why do you flinch at your own needs?
