Scenario

When caregiving arrangements expose family dynamics to partners

My partner and I moved in with my elderly father last year to help take care of him and it's bringing up all this old family stuff that we thought we'd moved past. My partner is seeing family dynamics that I'm blind to and I'm caught between trying to be a good daughter and a good partner, and both relationships feel strained.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Intimate caregiving can illuminate family patterns that were manageable from a distance but become impossible to ignore up close.
