When siblings can't separate caregiving from old family dynamics

My brother and I are both trying to figure out how to take care of our aging parents but we have completely different approaches and every conversation about it turns into an argument about our childhoods. We both want what's best for them but we can't seem to separate our parents' current needs from our own unfinished business with each other.
