Ali Davidson has a reality check that’s about as difficult to read as it is to talk about.

“If you’re an adult, and your parents are still alive and in decent health, it’s likely that you’ll have to take charge of their care at some point before they pass away,” said Davidson, a life coach and former owner of a home care agency who has authored the book It’s Between You and Me. “Most adult children do what they can to avoid the conversation with their parents about how they will handle that moment when it is apparent they are no longer able to care for themselves. Yes, it seems like it can be awkward and embarrassing, but it’s also necessary if you intend to lovingly and intelligently care for them as they get older.”
