Scenario

When couples disagree about caring for aging parents

My wife and I have been watching our parents age and we're realizing we have completely different ideas about what we owe them, what independence means, and how much of our own lives we should rearrange to take care of people who took care of us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are confronting questions of filial duty and discovering their different beliefs about obligation, autonomy, and the nature of what we owe to those who raised us.
