It’s not healthy to be the child caregiver to the parents. Get professional help.

I don't know about that. I was the primary caregiver to my mom for her last 8 years. It was difficult as she lived two hours away, but I spent a couple of days a week with her and took care of her shopping and bills and I don't regret it at all. She took care of me when I was a child, I tried to take care of her when she was elderly and keep her where she wanted to be, in her home. I just wish there had been no dementia.
