How do you handle being the one out of your siblings who is caring for your parent? I am trying to accept that because I live here (since my mom’s injury) I do pretty much everything and will from now on. Why don’t siblings want to be around and help? I can’t change anyone. Trying to practice radical acceptance.

    the situation can be tricky depending on your relationship. it could also be as simple as laziness, or fear. Maybe they are afraid to face the reality that their mother is aging, and coming over to help take care of her makes that unavoidable.

      Good point. We lost my oldest brother in 2020. The other one compartmentalizes. He lives a busy life and seems to make other things priority, but there could be a deeper reason. I will think on that.
