1. When something goes wrong with your parent's care, your first instinct is to: *

Drop everything and handle it yourself — you can't trust anyone else to do it right

Research the problem, make calls, and build a plan until it's solved

Feel a wave of guilt that you weren't already on top of it

Get frustrated that there isn't a clear system in place already

2. When you imagine stepping back or asking for help, you feel: *

Guilty — like you're abandoning them

Uncomfortable — like you're failing at something you should be able to handle

Scared of what people will think of you

Reluctant — it's easier to just do it yourself than explain it to someone else

3. The hardest part of caregiving for you right now is: *

Feeling like you're doing it all alone, even when others are around

Not knowing if you're making the right decisions

How much of yourself you've given — and how little is left

The uncertainty — nothing is ever clear or in your control

Now let's go a little deeper. Because how you're showing up today didn't start with your parent's diagnosis.

4. Growing up, your role in the family was: *

The responsible one — the one who kept things together

The one who tried hard to get it right, but it never felt like enough

The caretaker — of siblings, of a parent, sometimes of everyone but yourself

The outsider — you were never that close, or things were complicated

5. When you think about your parent before all of this, what comes up most? *

Exhaustion — you've been giving to this relationship your whole life

A quiet ache — they weren't really there for you the way you needed

Frustration — nothing you did was ever quite good enough for them

Distance — you're stepping into a role that was never really established

6. The thought that haunts you most in this season is: *

I've been doing this my whole life and I still can't stop

They didn't show up for me — and now I'm supposed to show up for them

No matter what I do, it's never going to be enough

I don't even know what I owe this person

Why Is Caregiving This Hard For You?

Now let's go a little deeper. Because how you're showing up today didn't start with your parent's diagnosis.
