An aging parent with dementia or chronic illness moves in with their adult child. The Wound: This storyline destroys the illusion of "getting over" childhood. When a formerly abusive father becomes helpless, the son must change his diapers. When a narcissistic mother forgets her daughter's name but remembers the insult from 1987, the daughter must smile and feed her soup. The complex relationship emerges in the resentment —the horrifying, shameful realization that you are waiting for them to die, even as you love them.
