The unresolved issues we have with our parents become obstacles in our process of maturing and becoming responsible aging folks — see my article in my current Newsletter to learn more about this really important issue in our lives.  This becomes so real and challenging for us when we have to deal with aging parents.  Sometimes the issues with them are so “hot” that we find we are propelled into taking a deeper look at these unresolved issues — whether or not we want to!  Sometimes, we are forced to do so.

Never hesitate to seek help from friends, family and professionals when you are up against issues within yourself or with an aging parent that you find you really cannot deal with yourself.  It is not something to be ashamed of or back away from.  There is plenty of help available — and it can make your life so much easier if you rely on others when you need to.
