Caring for aging parents

When the dependency reverses and your aging parent becomes the one who needs you, it often activates old patterns from childhood while asking you to show up as an adult—a confusing, sometimes impossible position. It's one of life's most tender and most strained relationships, requiring honesty about what you can actually give.
