When my mother’s health was failing, I was the "bad" sister who lived far away and wasn’t involved. My sister helped my parents. She never asked me to do anything, and I didn’t【C1】______I was widowed, raising kids and working, but that wasn’t really【C2】______I kept to weekly calls and short, infrequent visits. I was【C3】______ in my adolescent role as the aloof (超脱的)achiever, defending myself【C4】______my judgmental mother and other family craziness. As always, I turned a deaf ear to my sister’s【C5】______about my not being around more- and I didn’t hear her rising desperation.

And although 7 in 10 said another unpaid caregiver had provided help in the past year, only 1 in 10 said the burden was【C16】______equally.
As siblings who are often separated【C17】______and emotionally, we are having to come together to decide such【C18】______issues as where Mom and Dad should live and where they should be【C19】______"It’s like being put down with your siblings in the center of a nuclear reactor and being told, ’Figure it【C20】______’" says University of Colorado psychologist Sara Honn Quails.
