> Taking care of your parents (and children, and children's children) is your life My life has, imo, been ruined by caring responsibilities and I wouldn't change it. It is unfortunate that so many people do not understand the joy that comes from caring for your family. I agree, there is nothing else in life, no self-interested joy can compare. This also seems to be connected to resenting your parents...I have had massive issues with the people I care for, but that doesn't change what my responsibility is...just like your parents didn't walk away when you had a tantrum as a child. Unfortunate.
