You are the one who rearranged work, cancelled plans, and spent hours on the phone with social services. Your sibling, meanwhile, calls occasionally — or not at all. The resentment is real, and it is heavy. This book is not about guilt or blame; it is about regaining control. You will learn how to identify the patterns that keep the imbalance in place, start a difficult conversation without escalating conflict, and set boundaries that protect your time and energy. Practical strategies help you divide tasks in a way that feels fair — even if your sibling never steps up equally. You will also find guidance on when to involve a mediator, how to handle financial contributions, and what legal safeguards can protect you as the primary carer. Throughout the book, the focus remains on your own well-being: avoiding burnout, repairing family relationships where possible, and finding peace in whatever outcome emerges.
