How Many Kids Look After Their Aging Parents?

About 17% of adult children care for their parents at some point in their lives, and the likelihood of doing so rises with age. On average, 41 of children in a family provided care to their parents, who received an average of 49.6 hours of care in the last month. Americans in their 40s are the most likely to be sandwiched between their children and an aging parent, with over half having a living parent age 65 or older and are either raising them.

More than half of Americans with at least one parent age 65 and older who requires some help say caring for their parents is stressful, compared to 20 of those whose parents can handle things. As the Baby Boomer generation ages, adult children are increasingly taking on the responsibility of caring for their elderly parents. The 2020 update reveals an increase in the number of family caregivers in the United States of 9.5 million from 2015 to 2020, covering more than one in five Americans. According to the Family Caregiver Alliance, 85 of caregivers look after a relative or other loved one, and 42 of them care for a parent.

The study aimed to explore why adult children are assuming and remaining in the caregiver’s role despite its challenges. Parents in need of care report that one-third of all adult children in the sample provide care to three out of five of them. Over 65 million people of the US population give care to chronically ill, disabled, or elderly family members/friends.

As people age and their health starts to deteriorate, their need for help in daily life increases. According to the study, daughters provide an average of 12.3 hours of elderly parent care per month compared to sons’ 5.6 hours.


📹 How to Care for Your Elderly Parents

… elderly parent care at what point should you begin to consider caregiving for your elderly parents really at the beginning stages …


What percentage of people take care of their elderly parents?

The cost of “free” caregiving in the US is 375 billion, double the combined cost of homecare and nursing home services. Over 65 million people provide care to chronically ill, disabled, or elderly family members/friends, providing an average 20 hours a week. On average, adult children giving care to aging parents are women around the age of 49, often caring for their widowed mother.

Family caregivers provide more nationwide long-term care than Medicaid, with 51 of care recipients living alone, 29 living with their family caregiver, and 4 living in nursing homes. Many adults living in the community needing long-term care rely on family and friends as their only source of help. Women who are family caregivers are 2. 5 times more likely to live in poverty and five times more likely to receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

The average family caregiver for someone 50 plus spends 5, 531 per year on out-of-pocket caregiving expenses. Many caregivers report poor to fair health, skipping doctor appointments, poor eating habits, and worse exercise habits than non-caregivers. Seniors also make trade-offs to save money in the short term, such as putting off home and car repairs, cutting pills, and skipping meals, which can cause nutrient deficiency.

Final Expense coverage helps ease the family’s burden after a person’s death, as they will be left behind to handle funeral, burial, and medical bills. It is important to discuss this topic with one’s family and be adequately prepared when the time comes.

Is the sandwich generation common?

The Pew Research Center’s October 2021 survey of 9, 676 American adults found that nearly a quarter of them are part of the Sandwich Generation. Gen Xers in their 40s are the most likely to find themselves “sandwiched” between their school-age or young adult children and an aging parent age 65 or older. The study also revealed that over half of those in their 40s have a living parent who is 65 or older, along with having a child under 18 and/or a young adult child they are still helping financially. In contrast, only a third of those in their 50s and a quarter of those in their 30s are in this situation.

Who is most likely to take care of aging parents?

The study reveals that women are more likely than men to provide primary care to an aging parent, and those who are not married are more likely to provide most care. However, there are no differences between men and women or between married and unmarried individuals in the shares who provide at least some care. Additionally, individuals with family incomes below $75, 000 are more likely to provide most or some of the help to a needy parent, even among the non-retired.

Do adult children take care of their parents?

Many older adults move to senior living communities to alleviate the burden on their children, but they often take on emotional and physical care responsibilities, even when their parents live in supportive housing. Adult children provide comfort by letting their parents know they will be there in times of need. However, stress from care responsibilities can strain relationships and cause painful conflict.

Ideally, the experience of caring for and supporting parents should allow siblings to come together and provide mutual support. One adult child often bears the majority of caregiving responsibilities, which can lead to stress, anger, and resentment if their role was not part of an agreed plan.

How many children are cared for by grandparents?

In 2011, 7. 7 million children in the U. S. lived in the same household as at least one of their grandparents, representing 10 of all children under 18. A significant minority of these children are also being cared for by their grandparents. The number of children living with or being cared for primarily by grandparents rose gradually from 2000 to 2007, with a more significant increase after the recession in 2007.

The number of children with co-resident grandparents rose by 5% from 2007 to 2008, and the number of children being cared for primarily by a grandparent rose by almost 6%. However, since 2008, the increases have been more modest, and from 2010 to 2011, both the number of children living with and being cared for by grandparents remained virtually unchanged.

Do adult children have a responsibility to their parents?

Over half of all states have laws requiring adult children to financially support their parents, including long-term care costs. These laws obligate children to provide necessities like food, clothing, housing, and medical attention for their parents who cannot afford to take care of themselves. States may allow civil court actions, criminal penalties, or both. Most states do not require children to provide care if they lack the ability to pay, and factors such as abandonment or lack of support can vary. However, most states do not require children to support their parents if they have not been financially responsible for their parents.

What age do people start taking care of their parents?

Millennials, aged 24 to 39, started taking care of their parents at an average age of 23. However, 54 of those who had children still expected their offspring to care for them. Differences between men and women were also observed, with women being more than twice as likely to report being “extremely stressed” about taking care of their parents. Caregiving falls more often to daughters and sisters than sons and brothers, and women clock in more hours of care when they are on the job. The survey uncovered that the ways in which millennials spent this time of care were often skewed toward stereotypical gender roles.

Do sons or daughters take care of elderly parents?

Families often look to women for elder care, but compassion, patience, and resiliency are crucial. Both men and women face the challenges of elder care and require more accessible respite and support. Some members of the AgingCare. com Caregiver Forum have expressed their thoughts on gender, stating that there are similarities and differences between female and male caregivers. Women are socialized to be nurturers, while men are socialized to be the hero and fix problems.

However, no caregiver is perfect or “better” than another, and no one is cut out for this role. The female caregiving experience is unique, and we should celebrate and support all caregivers regardless of gender, age, or marital status. While women are generally more emotionally nurturing, men often have problem-solving skills that can make an elder feel safe and protected. While male caregivers are a rising number, gender doesn’t change the challenges they face.

What percentage of grandparents provide child care for working parents?

Grandmothers play a crucial role in supporting America’s children in various aspects of life, including special attention, emotional support, teaching life skills, sharing family history, and helping with schoolwork. 2 in 5 working parents rely on grandmothers for childcare, and when unexpected childcare issues arise, they are the number one person tagged in for unpaid care. Unpaid care allows for greater flexibility and the ability to pursue career goals, but it could negatively impact working parents’ employment situation.

Two-thirds of working parents who rely on grandmas for childcare say they could have lost their job without their child’s help. More than a third of working parents who rely on unpaid childcare say this allows them to have increased flexibility in work schedules. However, lack of access to unpaid childcare could lead to special accommodations at work, difficulty managing workloads, or a decline in work quality. One in five working parents who rely on unpaid childcare would have to quit their job without this support, and career growth could be stunted.

Are children responsible for their elderly parents?

Individuals are obligated to care for their elderly parents, but filial responsibility laws obligate children to provide them with clothing, food, housing, and medical attention. In the United States, 30 states have laws requiring children to take care of their elderly parents. However, 11 states have not implemented the statute establishing this filial obligation. In Arkansas, children are only liable for mental health-related medical expenditures, but not for nursing home or hospital visits.

Some state laws are less stringent, like Arkansas, while others, like Pennsylvania, take these regulations very seriously. Depending on living situations, individuals may or may not be required to care for their elderly parents.

  • I was raised by an African grandparent. I’ve always held the elderly to a high esteem, so much so that I built a career out of it. This message resonates very closely to my heart. Recently I took care of my uncle who passed at 89, it was an absolute joy spending the last 3years of his life with him. I learned so much in that process — while the intention was to care for him, he ended up nurturing me and helping me heal a lot of my childhood trauma surrounding my unavailable father. I’m forever grateful for that journey.

  • This was so beautiful, thank you Rabbi, I looked after my mom during her battle with cancer and finally, daily, the last week of her life.. It was an honour and a privilege to be of service to her in the caring of her needs, even in the things that seemed unimportant to me, because they were important to her. It gave me a deep peace with her passing, that I didn’t feel the usual pain of grief, just gratitude that her struggle was behind her and that I could give back in some small measure the sacrifices she made for me.

  • I cared for my mother during her last few months of life…she fell on my watch 😭 and after her fall the dementia came very quickly. I suffered with guilt because she fell in the bathroom at night when i was asleep. i had very little sleep since she was awake all night and micro napped throughout the day. I had no help, and I could not sleep because I was losing my best friend right before my eyes. My mother was very loving but had a co-dependent relationship with my father and he was physically abusive. I do not regret taking care of her since I know she did her best. It was a gift since she taught me how to die.

  • Amen. I am privileged to take care of my dad. I do not regret it. It is a new chapter in our lives. We are learning more of each other as the days continue. We will continue honoring our parent until death do us part. Thank you Rabbi for sharing. Not everyone can take care of their loved ones due to circumstances. It is a loving and humbling commitment. We are privileged to take care of our loved one’s. Thank you Jesus.

  • Thanks for the wonderful message Rabbi. I took care of my mother for 11 years until she passed away last January. She was totally dependent; she had dementia and diabetes. Although I have family I was left alone to take care of her. Tough times for me, but I am glad I was able to offer her my full time assistance during the last years of her life.

  • Thank you for this Rabbi. My father passed away 14 years ago and my mother is getting to the age where she’ll need more of my care. I’m 26 years old and still live with her, so it does become difficult at times but after perusal this article, I’m honored to be taking care of mum. I was unable to take care of dad before he passed as I was only 12 but I definitely took things for granted before he passed. I will be taking care of mum in dad’s honor as well. They provided me the foundation for my existence and although it was not perfect, I am alive and healthy because of them.

  • My parents live in NJ and I live in FL. I have been asking them for 20 years to move closer to me so I can take care of them as they age. Year after year they stubbornly refused to make any plan for their future. Now Dad is confined to a bed, and Mom wants me to move to NJ so I can take care of them. It would mean leaving my husband and walking away from responsibilities in my own home. I feel like it’s wrong to abandon my husband in favor of my parents – especially when they had so many years to plan for this. Please pray for me friends… I don’t know what to do.

  • I took care of my dad until he passed away in January 2023. I was his caregiver for 8 years. I helped him with his medication, medical appointments, walking, getting him lunch, etc. It was not a burden to me. My parents took good care of me and my brothers and sisters when we were younger. Now I take care of my mom. She is 86 and still in good health, but I promised her I would never put her in a nursing home. I live with both my parents all of my life. I am single, never married and no children, so it is easy for me to take care of them. I know that what I am doing is pleasing to God.

  • Thank you Rabbi Simon Jacobson, this was comforting. I cared for my mother prior to her passing as she lived with me for 18 years once her husband passed away. I was a bit confused because I didn’t know my mother at all prior to her coming to live with me. I was raised by my grandparents. But I also knew that one day she would need me and I knew I would be there for her. I was there for her and cared for her even though she was never here for me. I honored her because she gave life to me.

  • Thank you. So. Much. For. Your Information. I love my mom. Very much.She has been living with. Extremely bad Dementia for 12 years. I love being her full time care giver ‘. It gives me great joy. Everyday is a new challenge, I do everything for her because she always has done everything for me. I always tell her everything 😂I know she’s gone but her soul is still there. I try my best to honor her I will. Always love her. It’s hard to loose someone that has given you life to watch there’s slip away day by day. I. Really appreciate your articles. GOD BLESS YOU😊

  • This is a very beautiful article. I loved the story about the bird as my mother was doing the same thing- asking me what that word meant on the shirt that I was wearing over and over :)) I love you, mom and I wished that I could hear you asking me that again. As for me, taking care of my mother was easy. She was a beautiful person. Just like everything else in life, you have to love what you are doing, otherwise, it will be a chore. I loved taking care of my mother since she is a treasure and funny in so many ways. She makes me smile and laugh every moment that I was with her. I miss her so much. I miss her so very much. :((((( I very much look forward to the day when I get to take care of her again. Thanks to her love, I found spirituality and possibly even religion after her passing. Thank you, mother for allowing me the opportunity to take care of you.

  • Thank you so much Rabbi, I’m honoring God by doing my best with mom. I could say so much negativity about her, but I’ve chosen to give it to God. But, I can’t lie, there are moments of crippling pain that leave me feeling dead for days, I’m so tired now. I appreciate you giving me clarity that I’m on the right track which helps me to detach and see things for the way they are, not how they should have been

  • Thank you for this beautiful teaching. I cared for my parents for many years as they aged into their 90s until their deaths, and I am still deeply drawn to care for the adults who nurtured, taught, and comforted me as a child. I have been almost equally praised and criticized by others for this impulse. Neither point of view concerns me, as I feel I am only doing what seems to be the correct response. As this impulse arises from a deeply intuitive place within as if it is written on the back of my heart where I cannot see it, I was moved to tears by your explanation of this yearning’s relationship to honoring Life and our Creator. It is as if you were reading the commandment from my heart to my analytical self, and it brought me great comfort to understand it in this light.

  • I always believed caring for our parents in old age was a natural heart centered choice. My mother strangely said often growing up, I will never live with any of you, I wont let any of you take care of me, I will be fine. It was hurtful to hear this as a child. Four years ago my parents removed me from their will because I don’t belong to their religion. I have always been kind and generous to them. Paid their property taxes when in arrears, filled their oil tank, repaired their vehicle when they didnt have enough funds to do so. Even tho I was a single mom, and raising four children and really had no extra funds. I forgive and release every day and choose to remain kind, loving, and respectful to them. My parents denied me an education at any school and it has always been a desperate struggle to survive. I choose every day to remain in gratitude and count my blessings anyway. We were moved 36 times by my 18th birthday. I still wish to bless my parents. They have pushed me away so many times. This is hard to listen to, even tho I don’t disagree in any way.

  • I respect your opinion & your right to have it by this really should be considered on a case by case basis. I won’t go into my situation but if you knew about it, I’m not sure you’d hold your firm opinion. I would actually like to have a relationship with my mother and would be more than happy to house & look after her financially & see her daily. This is despite EVERYTHING. Why? Because it’s not her fault the way she is. The only thing I blame her for is being irresponsible. If you don’t want children have an abortion or use protection. It’s not lost on me either my reaction when you mention that a “long life” is the reward for doing so. Young generations today, many of us don’t consider the prospect of living a long life being a positive one. It’s actually terrifying, for a multitude of reasons in almost every aspect of life. So my overall feeling about this discussion is, ivory towers.

  • Caring for loved ones is difficult but it pays more than any other job on earth, it pays to the soul which no one can touch but GOD. I took care of my in-laws then later my parents and I remember feeling cheated out of life yet looking back now I see how GOD blessed my life. I learned so much about myself and also about God and His great merciful care of us.

  • I’m a bit like a cat. When I know I’m going to die, I go off to a lonely place, lie down and wait for death to come. I’ve been alone for 40 years. I can’t see anyone coming to my bedside when I’m ready to die. I’m getting weaker by the day. I wish I had a tall tree house open to the birds or some other place to just lay down and be thankful for my life.

  • ONLY honor your parents if they honored YOU. If they abandoned you the moment you turned 18 after spending your entire childhood ignoring your need for braces, failing to arrange for your college education, telling you THEY bought THEIR first car…Always telling you you’ll never amount to nothing. Actively seeing to it that you won’t. Stamp the dust of their house from your feet on their door mat as you leave. Don’t associate with even ONE distant relative or friend. Go make something of yourself while they wonder if you’re alive or dead. Then when they’re ready to die looking for someone to treat them good or else they won’t get these hand-me downs of garbage…Tell them: “I’ll pray down at ya honey! I hear it’s rough down there!” and leave for another 50 years.

  • It is not easy because you have to deal with it emotionally, physically and mentally. It well affect you in so many ways you will be always anxious outside thinking about her. I do take good care of my 86 years old mother since my father died 11 years ago. Sometimes, It is tiring because you have sleep deprivation when you need it the most especially when she doesn’t know her schedule and not concern with your wellbeing anymore. You sacrifice a lot for that matter even working schedule are affected. I quit working and find something to do in order to do the task on her while working.

  • Kinda disturbed at the “lock away” comment. Sometimes it’s necessary to unload some of the responsibility in long term care on a paid facility. I cannot take care of my elderly mother and keep a roof over my head. I don’t have a job where I can work from home. Sometimes getting nursing/long term care assistance IS honor because the medical community does it a whoooole lot better than I can. If someone wants to do that, great, pat yourself on the back for your martyrdom…. but “honor” isn’t cookie-cutter compatible for everyone.

  • If they can’t help themselves and have enabled you your whole life because it’s “traditional” even when you tried to get some space and now you have little skill because you’re so behind and they want to take care of you. No. They didn’t birth slaves to take care of them if they aren’t putting effort and letting the weight rest on your conscience, who they’ve conditioned since birth. They are owed respect and checkups but they aren’t owed having your life and your chances of having your own family ruined because of the way their behavior shaped you. You can have compassion without scrapping your life. At least that’s my cursory understanding of the way respecting your parents is put forth in the Torah. Also generally sound with Jewish custom being so family oriented. You see it all the time with Jewish guilt inducing mothers who can clearly do more to help themselves can’t seem to let go at great damage to their children’s chances of integrating into the world. Especially now with everything devolving into chaos, and especially for those who have no affiliation. Rabbi, if you’re reading this, I’m curious regarding your thoughts on this kind of selfish martyrdom that some parents engage in to exploit compassion and stoke the guilt they’ve literally conditioned you with. Thank you.

  • We were able to communicate across the country with our minds a thousand people talking at once gave me a head ache like I never felt it’s amazing I thought I was alone but now I’m afraid I never felt that feeling before were still learning I told them never erupt yellow stone people are testing abilities scares me

  • When by default, a mother takes care of her unborn, newborn, and children, plus walking produces new breath that delves deep plus new strength is accompanied with longsuffering walks, it is only fair to take care of the elders. An elder that will not walk especially when a strong adult and technology is about will have to settle for what comes their way. The only thing I won’t do is send my mother to a nursing or care home nor will I let somebody else take care of her who is not my sister, her relative under close inspection. I will walk with my mother and will walk according to her pace.

  • I don’t feel obligated, but I do feel compelled to help as much as possible. My parents didn’t feel obligated to raise me and of course me and all of my siblings became alcoholics due to lack of coping skills. I got sober and have been sober for 12 years. I’m only starting to develop coping skills at 42. Id argue that any care or aid I render is strictly for the sake of my own conscience and purely selfishly motivated inorder to be at peace with myself

  • I would think it would be a myriad of paths. Some of us are able, some not and are they worthy based just on our birth? I supported my dad long past what was appropriate given our family dynamics. Recently fallen out with my mother and sister for not saying goodbye to my father at his death. Abuse from narcissism isn’t love in any form or fashion. The age doesn’t make up for the ass” Dad always disabled and he knew how to manipulate it. We had help that he ran off with his off putting ahem ‘advances’. Mine was only physical abuse. Mum and sis different (not better). The staff assigned not obligated for his ugly. My brother took his leave at 24 from the abuse. He had moved home to ‘help’ and broken beyond any reach of the Divine. There is no honour in abuse or destruction. I can honour the Divine when the lack of parental care so awful. Generations of brokenness? How do you honour that awful that beats physically? My mother chose my dad and condemned my brother. He begged for his life and her maternal instincts said no. I understand the ❤you are speaking of yet in some families that is not the case. Very happy to have found this website. Thank you for reminding me that love exists outside of the awful. I always 23:20 am humbled at families that share goodness in gratitude between.

  • I believe in a balance. Family should help one another, and parents should be honored, but at the same time, parents shouldn’t make their children retirement plans. Adult children have families of their own to support and future dreams and goals to accomplish. I think it’s wrong for parents to take that away from them. I’m in my 40s and my parents never let me prosper and be on my own because they want to keep me in the nest forever because they don’t want to be alone. I never got married or had a life. There is a difference between helping family and having your freedom taken away from you. If I was a parent I would prefer being taken care of by professionals in a nursing home.

  • I cared for mine because I was a!widow and my children were all adults I came from Australia back to England and to care for my very elderly Polish parents as my sister and brother were working full time I was on a pension don’t regret anything it wasn’t easy especially the last few months of their lives

  • Leave Oldest, Uncare Childest, Forget Both Then The Erased Youth… This Is The More Frequent Pain, In The Cold And Hard Street. (Philadelphia) Break Chains With Remembering Good Actions With Good Voluntary Will… This Show Light Remembering The Present Being Bad Called Escence, Conscience, Soul And Others Wasted Ways…

  • I believe that children are to see parents LIKE God. This is one reason that the 5th command is on the first set of tables as it Honoring parents is part of how we Honor God. Honoring parents is key to knowing and Honoring God. How can you learn to honor a God who you can not see? By Honoring your parents who are LIKE God, who you CAN see.

  • whether our us or have any kind difference between we shouldn’t hate or even disrespect our elders,it’s basics manners they are elder or ever said something or getting angry that made us feel bad,but it’s okay never mind,it’s completely fine ! Dosen’t mean that leave them in their specially difficult time it’s my duty to understand that,..if we have to stay away due to any personal reason or roles n responsibility,or any circumstances atleast make sure to stay connected get in touched provide them financially but disrespect or throw them out of our life this is sin,bc they are our parents not burden or luggage, some relation in our lives which must not be think as profit n loss perspective n children n parents relation is one of that well this is my personal beliefs,I don’t even want to think to be practical

  • The fact we have to have this conversation tells me most people are POSs Rabbi! That can’t think for themselves or do what is right when no one’s looking… when no reward or goal is being serviced. I feel like I spend everyday surrounded by half wits and sheep. This walk gets lonelier and lonelier as I get older and wiser Rabbi! But maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be!

  • “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.” Exodus 20:12. From the very hand of Adonai. This becomes so much more difficult in cases of neglect and abuse by the parents, but still our Lord speaks. How much more profound is the consequence of obedience in this matter under the less-than-optimal historical cases?

  • Absoutely not. We are under no obligation to look after our parents. Just cos they took care of us as children dosent mean we should look after them when they are elderly. Children have no free will of their own. They are not old enough to make their own decisions. They are small and vulnerable and have to be supervised for their safety. Parents are legally entitled to take care of their children otherwise they will be taken off them. A childs destiny is to grow up and reproduce. An elderly person on the other hand has lived their life and done their duty and are now burderned with incurable illnesses. Their destiny is to die so let them. Old life must die so new life can come into this world

  • I have come from Asia country and our country always stresses honoring parents and even ancient stories saying someone bury their child to have enough food to feed parents in famine. And sometimes the parents just use traditions to manipulate children. I know bible teaches about it. But I saw elder parents lead very unhealthy lifestyle like staying up late and smoking a lot and ask daughter to take care of them all day long without going anywhere even has little life. Makes me feel choked l wonder if it’s karma or need balance as in developing countries not everyone has money to hire someone for caring especially night owl elder which ask for attendance several times during midnight. It’s really hard to take care of very egocentric night owl parents as they keep on being angry as they are sick or can’t leave home. Sometimes I think longevity of life is not important if long but very sick and egocentric it only becomes nightmare as they tried hard to survive and bring negativity and complain always to their child too. If only one child that will be more like night mare. Perhaps that’s why in my country more people choose not get married. If the parents are wise, they will lead healthy lifestyle and not in survival mode in later years but in developing countries l saw many elderly people when they got old they don’t want to learn just depends on their children. Now there are many debates about young people want to leave their parents as they feel manipulated and bad influence. Even there’s a old saying in my country that people raise children in case they get old.

  • I have not been able to listen due to time constraints. Yes we care for our elderly parents – to the end. Not out of obligation – out of love. It is not always easy – especially when they are terminally ill – dying. I did it and it was a great blessing in the end. I would never have not done or not wanted to do it. Love is many things – one of which is sacrifice. Sometimes – with certain things like various forms of dementia etc – nursing care is essential – hospice even. But when possible – parents – like most human beings want to die at home amongst family.

  • No we aren’t. We did not ask to be here. We do not want to be here. We were FORCED here against our will. So you now understand the burden of Masukhiel! It is a CHOICE to take care of my elderly parents and protect them, but it is no obligation. The CHOICE comes from love…Hence my quarrel with all religions in general.

  • it dependes what kind of parents they were, coz there are parents and what i call creators. ihave friend whos biological father never gave a dime, never called or visited, futher more had to be sued to be signed as father, his mum got married when he was 8, his non bio father never made difference between him and his bio son. at the age of 18 he changed his family name to be same as his half brother and a father who raised him. at age 28 he got first kid, at 25 got maried, at 41 got a law suit from a bio father for not taking care for him, man does not evennow how many kids his son have and what are their names..in this case no one is obligated to take care for such parent. coz of stupid law back then head to take caefor him. he drovehim to a nursing home and just said well took care for you more than you ever did for me. you are just a sperm donour nothing more to me. i have a father and i carry his surname, my kids carry his surname, not yours. and his non bio father is actually living with him today after suffering a stroke, while bio father is roting in a nursery home and no one cares.. my father is an alcholic with untreated ptsd, my mum is an egocentric person who thinks whole world revolves around her, also with untreated ptsd, growing up with them and 2 siblings with severe and complex ptsd was hell. one day i was out of hospital (after 3 months stay and rehablitaon) with fresh amputeed leg, with my mum asking me to get her some medicine, 2 other kids and 2 grandkids and she is asking me.
