Moving back...

Judide65

I've been living across the country from my family - including my EO LO. It's been 15 yrs since I lived near them. I just recently made the decision to move closer to all of them, including my EO LO (my sister). While it has been "easier" to manage my emotions from a distance, being closer will help with the little things and the not-so little things. I am scared that I will be only be taking care of her and everyone else.

I am looking for helpful ideas of boundary setting - for them and myself. Anyone?

TIA.

Hi, you might want to repost this on the Caregiver-general topics board. This group does not get a lot of traffic.

Agree Judie and welcome to the forum. The website changed April 9, and this "remote caregiving" page is not. being used much at all. Try the general caregiver page. There are a number of folks who care for siblings (don't feel left out, we don't like the way they did the headings either).

Boundaries are quite hard, particularly if family issues have festered pre-dementia. I don't have much practical advice there but hopefully others will chime in.
