Scenario

When family caregivers work against each other instead of together

My mom and I are both caregivers for my dad who has dementia and we keep making different decisions about his care without talking to each other first, then getting frustrated when the other person doesn't follow through or does something different. We're both exhausted and I think we're starting to resent each other instead of supporting each other through this.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people trying to care for the same person are fragmenting their efforts through uncoordinated decision-making and unprocessed resentment.
