[QUOTE="Osca, post: 3850046, member: 11501"] I suppose in the past that the children would take on the care of their aged parents; they would inherit the parents' wealth, if any, or fund the parents' needs themselves, just feeding another mouth at the table. However they would also have the difficulties of living their own family lives with an increasingly frail or demented person needing maybe 24/7 care. My parents did this with my Mum's mum; she lived with us anyway and it was a natural progression. However the last few years of her life, in which she remained physically strong but became demented and sometimes violent, almost broke my mum and dad and I would never wish anything like this on my own daughter. Given that a parent's suicide is also traumatic for the offspring, I don't know what the answer is. [/QUOTE]
