Scenario

When adult siblings can't align on caring for an aging parent

My mom has early-stage dementia and my brother and I are trying to figure out how to support her while she's still mostly herself, but we have completely different ideas about what that means and every conversation turns into us relitigating our childhood roles. She's caught in the middle of our inability to work together and I hate that we're adding stress to her life when we're supposed to be helping.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The urgency of caregiving is colliding with unresolved sibling dynamics, creating additional suffering for everyone involved.
