How community forms around shared parent role reversal experiences

My neighbor and I both moved back to our hometown to be closer to aging parents, and we've become each other's support system for navigating this weird phase where we're suddenly the adults in charge. We meet for coffee and try to figure out when it became our job to parent the people who raised us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The unexpected intimacy that develops when two people discover they're both learning to be authorities for the people who were once their ultimate authorities.
