I can't tell you how many conversations I had with each parent where I felt like the parent.

That's tough, I struggle with those conversations where I feel like I'm speaking like a parent. My mother's been on her own for 10+ years. In the last couple years I've had to intervene a few times on issues with the house, with the other sons or even with her finances. She went through a period last year when she was drinking more than usual. She seems back on track now, but I'm still uneasy about it.
