Its the younger adults who are too worried about their own lives to be bothered. Must be something with society, kinda like the entitlement attitude.
I sure have had my struggles with my children. My son drove me to treatments and helped me but was not a caregiver. He tried but just didnt know what to do to help. Same goes for my daughter, she tried but couldnt see past herself at times to give me the help I needed. I warned them both, the first 2 times were a warm up for this third round.
Hope things improve for you and the children become more helpful.
