Siblings, Step-Siblings And Difficulties With Aging Parents

Blended Families May Be At Greater Risk For Family Disputes

Sometimes money and the need to care for aging parents can bring out the worst in people. This can happen in blended families with aging parents. When the adult children are faced with issues over their aging parent in common, some siblings feel entitled to different treatment because they are not step-children. Sometimes all the step-siblings get along, but things can change when the elders’ needs increase, creating demands for new responsibilities.
