Jaylenn: Welcome to retirement: your mother needs a caregiver

Published on: 18th May, 2023

In this episode we talk with Jaylenn. She spent the first part of her retirement years heavily involved with her mother's care.

Per usual, we hit the sticky topics:

  • Caring for a demanding and ungrateful person
  • A financially supportive but otherwise unavailable brother
  • Exploring tolls on physical, emotional and marital health
  • Lessons learned

Caveats:

  • This is a judgement free zone!
