Hi Im asking for advice about my situation.
I have a adult son with fragile x syndrome and he lives fulltime with me at home.
Anyway My daughter seems distressed recently because she feels she will have too look after him when i can't.
I've assured her it's not expected of her , And supported living would take over ,and I've never asked her too help in any way so not sure why she's so worried.She keeps saying she feels guilty to not have helped.
I've explained it's not a normal situation and why should she ,she has her own life .I've never wanted to get in the way.
Although I realise it was different for growing her up.
I feel guilty too.
.i have health problems too but I'm not too old.and still manageable as full time carer.
Is this common for siblings to worry.
How can I make her understand .?
