Unfortunately, I have several acquaintances who have experienced burnout and have to deal with family members who won't help with caregiving of their elderly parents. @Lunaticg - thanks for stopping by.

It touched on many of the elements that came into play in the nine years my MIL lived next door to us. She died last January at age 97. The risk of burnout on my part was so extreme that I had to monitor myself very carefully. My husband and I worked as a team to look after her interests, with the help of caregivers. His brother did not care what happened to her, and his wife even less. I don't blame them: they had their reasons. It was OK. And we learned so much. I watched that burnout video.
