Worrying definitely isn't a good way. It distracts you and that def leads to depression. You see, it's d same issue I have with my parents. While it is good to care, it is recommended that once kids get to the age of responsibility and knowing the consequences of their action, you shouldn't kiss yourself over them. So while u show concer, you are safe with the knowledge that you are kind of exonerated of whatever happens to them. I'm talking in particular here about your younger sibs. Of course there's this juvenile misjudgment, but you really can't keel over them. Somehow, they may not see what u r doing as "help" per se, but you are smothering, and that would be defeating your real intentions. So space, space…is important

So focus on the more important things: yourself (with all that that involves), and making the parents enjoy the rest of their lives on earth. As you have time, you give some to your siblings, too. And remember, there's someone above who's watching!

Oh, My JoomyDear, I hear you. I hear you on the worry about your parents' health, on being good with regards to siblings, on being more loving and less hateful. I hear you on being worried that family will end up doing something less than stellar, I worry that I am not being good enough to those around me.

Aside from large quantities of alcohol and prescription sedatives, I don't know how to make the worry go away. I wish I had something wonderful and insightful to say to you, but instead I'll just say that I hear you on all counts. When I find the solution to these problems, you'll be the first to know for sure.
