When siblings struggle to separate family history from caregiving decisions

My adult sibling and I are trying to make decisions about our aging parent's care and we have completely different ideas about independence versus safety, plus old family dynamics keep surfacing that make it hard to focus on what's actually best for our parent. Every conversation somehow becomes about childhood stuff instead of the present situation.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people can't address a shared responsibility because unresolved dynamics keep pulling them away from the current challenge.
