This out of pocket expense is enough to make you hold your head and bawl. The other issue that nobody cares to talk about is that if there are more than one siblings, invariable one sibling will be burdened with one hundred percent of the sick parent care.
So much so, that in some cases, there's so much animosity and bitterness that communication between siblings become non existence.
For example, a friend of mine became the sole caregiver for her mother, that the relationship between her four other siblings became strained and malice. Suffice it to say, the mother died and she buried her without notifying anyone.
