A new survey finds that the stress of caring for aging parents can break sibling bonds.
- One in five people report experiencing permanent sibling estrangement due to caring for an aging parent.
- Nearly half of caregivers report that they resent a sibling because caregiving was not shared fairly.
- Gender expectations can shape how families divide care; daughters are typically the hands-on caregiver.
- A family text thread may be convenient for quick updates, but it can also intensify conflict.
