It's situational, but you're not the only one.

I lived with my dad for many years because he slowly lost the ability to take care of himself. My brother and I were there to handle whatever he needed and since I was working full time, I'd cover bills when it was required, either because he forgot or because he was struggling.

We eventually made the decision to have him moved to a care facility where he could get the care he needed, and far better care than we could hope to provide. He's passed on now, but it happens. That was a crazy time in my life. Now I live independently.

For the record, I'm over 40 now, and I'm the youngest of his children. He died a few years back at this point.
