Now that I’m a caregiver for my mom, we spend a lot more time together. Any tips for creating healthy boundaries for us both?

Caregiving can bring out parts of each of your personalities that you’ve never seen before. Especially if there are any unresolved issues, personality clashes or differences of opinions on personal care. Take the time to communicate openly with your mother to determine her wants and needs and then make your own known to her. Together, you can properly decide on the best plan of action moving forward. Don’t forget to solicit help whenever necessary.
