The boundless love a parent has for their child is matched only by their capacity to embarrass them.
Emotional Boundaries With Parents When Guilt Runs Your Life
Understanding Emotional Boundaries With Parents in a Guilt-Driven Dynamic Emotional boundaries with parents become critically important when guilt quietly controls decisions, emotions, and self-worth. Many Gen Z adults grow up in families where love is intertwined with obligation, making it difficult to separate care from control. In these kinds of places, guilt isn't often said out loud. It can be suggested through silence, stories of sacrifice, or emotional detachment. This approach leads to a habit of putting personal needs last.

Why Levels of Care in Assisted Living Matter for Senior Safety and Comfort
The process of aging does not happen to all. There are seniors who are active and independent over a long period of time and there are seniors who require more and more assistance over day to day activities, medical issues or memory assistance.

A Headache, Pain Killers, Surgery... and then drama.... Content Warning.
This week has been really hard. My oldest ended up in the ER last weekend due to severe ear pain. He had an ear infection. I updated his father and let him know that we would need to come up with a joint plan for medication transfer. His father informed me that I would have to give him access to my mailbox/property.
