What do you do when other people overstep you with the person you've been caring for?
I have family members who are overstepping and I am on the verge of walking away and letting them take over. The problem is I really am not heartless. I care a lot.
They are acting like one elderly family member already has one foot in the ground.
The others are not thinking about the grandma's health problems and assume all is well in her world. These people call once a week if that.

How do you deal with these people without losing your cool?

I would say that this is a big problem. im not really sure how to handle it. I personally would say that if you want to have a part in this you take care of her these days and you do it these days and ill take these days.
