Scenario

When multigenerational living doesn't match expectations

My wife and I moved in with my elderly mother six months ago to help care for her and it seemed like the right decision but none of us anticipated how much we'd all lose our sense of privacy and autonomy. We're all trying to be considerate but we're stepping on each other constantly and nobody wants to be the one to say this isn't working.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Three adults are trapped in a living arrangement that made sense in theory but is failing in practice, each afraid that voicing their struggles will seem ungrateful or selfish.
