 Don't put your parents in such a place. 

Take care of them yourself.

 Many people are so beat up, bent, broken, and broke so that they can't even take care of themselves.  
 My brother, for example.  
 yeah its pretty hardcore devastatingly sad - all of it...

failing miserably lately, but I try to remember "there, but for the grace of God, go I".

the abuse of the elderly and the children vexes me to no end.

tragically, trying to enlighten can be akin to cutting off their supply of
meaning...

🤷‍♂️ 
 It's not an easy thing for anyone.  
 I'll take care of my dad. One of my five siblings can deal with my mom.
