Caring for Aging Parents
The role reversal nobody prepares you for.
If you are in your 50s or 60s, you may find yourself caring for parents who once cared for you. This role reversal is emotionally complex and practically demanding. It can affect your finances, your career decisions, your marriage, and your own health. You are not failing if you need help. In-home care, adult day programs, respite services, and family care agreements are all legitimate tools. Caregiver burnout is real; your wellbeing matters too.
