Sometimes, I swear, when I read The Literature on Caregiving...
...I get the feeling that those of us who have chosen not to be involved, for whatever reason, in the caregiving for our elderly and infirm are standing around waiting for those of us who are to fail so we can shake our fingers at the dust biting caregivers and assuage our guilt by saying, "See, toldja, shoulda put'er in a nursing home (or in the hands of professionals here and there) instead of ruining your life over her."
Just a thought.
I'm going to give up reading "The Literature" for awhile, especially the "supportive" stuff. It feels full of threats rather than promises. Rather like The Literature for Housewives before the late 1960's and early 1970's and during The Feminist Backlash.
Just a passing thought.
Later.
