We are not alone...

 No, this is not about extraterrestrials.  We're referring to the inevitable cycle of going from "being the

child and depending on parents" to "being the child that is caring for parents, and family, and career...".  It usually happens slowly, so slowly that most people are unaware until they are nearly pushed to a breaking point.  A light usually goes on at that point, and a decision is made to make changes.  The biggest problem here is that most people have waited far to long, and in an effort to set things right quickly, they make poor choices.
  Well known journalist Katie Couric recently began posting some articles about this transition.  She does a great job of explaining her family's situation, their challenges, thoughts, and plans.  One of the best quotes she makes is "Whatever we decide, we'll do it together, and I take some comfort in knowing we're not the only baby boomers dealing with these questions. There are no easy answers."
