Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 This topic (of children and their participation in the " caregiving " and acceptance of a parent with MSA) is one that I have struggled with. I read what you all say and wonder about my own culpability in either not helping enough or trying to help too much and being overbearing as a consequence. It is a learning experience - at least it has been for me. I think I worry more about my mom as the caregiver than about my dad. She tends to resist all efforts to help. Her nature is to be very giving of herself, and accepting help (even from her kids) is a struggle. At the same time, I know I can be of help even from a distance with some things. It is a thin line between helping and burdening (and sometimes my big feet stumble - often ending up in my mouth!) Trying, wondering, hoping in L.A., Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
