Scenario

When caring for aging parents strains a marriage

My mom moved in with us six months ago after her stroke and my wife and I thought we were ready for it but we weren't ready for how it would change everything about our daily life and our marriage. We're both exhausted and starting to snap at each other and I can tell my mom feels guilty about being here even though we want to take care of her.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Three people trying to love each other well are discovering that good intentions don't automatically create sustainable systems.
