Parents and children will often switch roles as the parent ages, This can be a difficult task, but an incredibly common one. Dr. Lindsay Anderson from the Fargo VA shares her insight on the transition from child to a new caregiver role.

Dr. Lindsay Anderson is a geriatric clinical psychologist with the VA in Fargo, ND and shares her insight on not only the changing dynamic of “being a mom to my mom” but also the inner workings of a family where multiple siblings or additional care givers may be involved. Telling dad that he can no longer drive or having to remove the checkbook from your mother’s purse is incredibly common – but often unnerving for both the child and the parent.
