Scenario

When family members refuse to share elder care responsibilities

My grandmother raised me when my parents couldn't and now she needs full-time care but my cousins say it's not their responsibility since I was 'her favorite' and I cannot afford it alone.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The burdens of gratitude and reciprocal care are falling unequally on those who received the most love.
