Description

This group is for anyone who is caring for or has elderly parents (seniors). Whether you're living with your parents, mom or dad, living separately & caring for their needs, whether they're sickly, healthy but need regular help, if you have deadbeat siblings, if you're considered in the "sandwich generation", etc. Here we can vent, rant & express our frustrations in addition to getting advice and support. It can be very difficult at times to have the responsibility of caring for your aging parents in addition to having to care for your own family and yourself. And, sometimes our parents demand or expect too much of us and you need somewhere to let it all out. You can do that here.
If this describes your situation, please join us. Here we can help each other through our more difficult times and situations while caring for our aging parents as well as dealing with other related family issues such as deadbeat (don't help out) or controlling (are too involved) siblings, but not limited to that.
THIS GROUP IS VERY ACTIVE IN "VENTING" AS MANY USE THIS GROUP FOR THAT PURPOSE IF THEY HAVE NO WHERE ELSE TO TURN SO IF YOU HAVE ISSUES READING OTHER PEOPLE'S FRUSTRATIONS DUE TO THE FAMILY SITUATION THEY'RE IN, PLEASE DO NOT JOIN THIS GROUP! I'D RATHER YOU NOT JOIN AT ALL THEN TO JOIN AND THEN CRITICIZE OTHER MEMBERS FOR VENTING. WE'RE ALL HERE TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER.
Think of this group as free therapy.

NO SPAMMING, INCLUDING OTHER GROUPS
