You'll also learn to reduce the shame and guilt that may be felt when you feel like you don't want to be a caretaker. Finally, you'll learn to set limits with your parent so you can stay sane during this difficult time.\nHaving an aging parent can be stressful enough, but dealing with an aging narcissistic or self-absorbed parent is especially challenging.
