Caring for a disabled parent can be a trying experience for the inexperienced. When a child goes from being an independent adult to perhaps suddenly caring for an aging parent, the dynamics of their relationship is flipped. To make things more difficult, the parent may be an unwilling participant, resisting help and saying things that may cause hurt feelings. If you have found yourself in this predicament, take heart. It is possible to continue to be a thoughtful caregiver without being beat up, figuratively or literally, in the process.
