My parents are in their 80s. They need care. I pay for a nurse, buy medicines for them, as their pension is not enough for that. But, to be honest, I do it only because otherwise society will judge me, my friends will stop communicating with me and even my husband, for whom parents are sacred, will divorce me. And my parents gave me nothing. They gave birth to me late, they were 42-43 years old. Openly poor childhood, because they did not aspire to anything and worked all their lives at the same jobs. No start in life. I didn't get a college degree because there was no opportunity. I got a normal job without it, but it does not cancel the fact that I had the desire to study, and my parents could not even feed me during my studies, so this idea had to be abandoned.

It's important to set boundaries and take care of yourself too. Your well-being matters. Don't let societal expectations dictate your decisions. Seek support and explore all options available. You deserve understanding and compassion. Take care.
