Estate & Asset Protection Attorney, Victoria Collier tells readers that some parents may resist being parented by their adult children which often makes the job of caregiver more difficult.

DECATUR, GA, June 27, 2019: Victoria L. Collier, founder of The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm, has posted a new blog on her law firm’s website entitled “Caring For Elderly Parents Is A Tough Job But Somebody’s Got To Do It.” Ms. Collier recognizes the difficulties inherent in being an adult child caregiver to one’s parent.

According to Collier, “Watching our parents lose their independence as they age is one of the most challenging realities adult children face. Likewise, caring for our elderly parents is never easy, but it must be done.”

“We’ve witnessed our parents’ decision making our whole lives,” writes Collier. She continues adding, “They always made important decisions for and about us, their children, as well as for themselves. When we see their decision-making abilities become impaired, it can be disconcerting.”

As Collier points out, “One thing you can be certain of – no parent wants to be parented.” She further elaborates, “In particular, mothers are accustomed to mothering not being mothered. So often we meet with resistance when we try to help our aging parents and that is usually the reason why. To a parent, their children are always their children and are the ones that need to be nurtured and helped.”
