When siblings fall into unequal caregiving roles for aging parents

My mom is getting older and needs more help but my brother lives across the country and somehow I've become the default caregiver even though we never discussed it, and now I'm resentful but don't know how to bring it up without sounding like I don't want to help her.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The weight of caring for aging parents has fallen unevenly, creating resentment that threatens both the caregiving and the sibling relationship.
