And what do you do when you love someone but can’t keep being their caregiver?\nThis week, Dr. Mark welcomes back family therapist Angela Caldwell for a direct conversation built from the questions behind our most shared episodes and the ones caregivers keep asking in support forums. Dr. Mark asks for her honest professional take on each one: what she’d advise, what she’s seen happen, and what’s likely if nothing changes. They cover what adult children owe aging parents, including parents who were abusive, and where that duty ends. They talk about siblings who won’t help, the resentment that grows when you give out of obligation, breaking a promise to never “put them in a home,” and how to balance a sick parent against your marriage and your kids.\nAngela also shares her own experience. While her family cared for her father-in-law in California, she learned that the resentment she felt toward him was really about how his care facility was treating him. Later the family made the hard choice to sell his house so they could pay for better care. And she passes on the advice mountain guides gave her on climbs with her father: never look at the top of the mountain.\nIn this episode, you’ll learn:\n✅ Whether you owe your parents care, and where that responsibility ends\n✅ How giving out of obligation turns into resentment, and how to tell if the care arrangement needs to change\n✅ What to do when siblings know you’re struggling and still won’t help\n✅ How to handle the guilt when a loved one says “You promised” or “You’re abandoning me”\n✅ Who comes first: your sick parent, your marriage, or your kids\nSupport Our Guest:\n▶️ https://www.angelacaldwell.com/\n▶️ https://youtube.com/@angelacaldwell \n▶️ https://caldwellfamilyinstitute.com/\nConnect With Us:\n▶️ https://linktr.ee/thecaregiverspodcast\nBuy Us a Coffee:\n▶️ https://buymeacoffee.com/thecaregiverspodcast\nSubscribe to The Caregivers Podcast on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts so...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/S-JQABlYZbnBecnHon9gr2RIdTyQkMuMFTciU47aM5c/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zMzc0/ODU4YzBkYzZmNGJi/NzA5ZTAzN2I4YzM4/ZTMzMi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
