Mom regretted choosing my sister for her retirement care
Blurb
My parents Micah Wright and Aurora Wright, as they got older, needed my sister Cora Wright and me, their two daughters, to take care of them in their old age.
Cora is moving to France with her French husband Chris Davis, while I live with my taxi-driving husband Bennett Gray in a two-bedroom apartment in a small town in the U.S.
Aurora had no money and ultimately chose me to take care of her, while Micah took all the family assets and had Cora look after him.
My family’s financial situation is average. As for the two-bedroom apartment, I gave the master bedroom to Aurora. However, Aurora was still unhappy and always said she wasn’t happy living with me.
Every night, she video calls Cora, envies Cora's exciting life abroad, and complains that I haven’t taken good care of her.
But I’m already middle-aged. I not only have to take care of Aurora but also my daughter Anna Gray, who is about to take the SAT, and Bennett, who suffers from cervical spondylosis, not to mention Bennett’s elderly parents who also need care.
One thing after another is overwhelming me, yet Aurora is still insisting on going abroad to celebrate Cora's birthday.
I couldn’t take it anymore and had a big fight with her. As a result, Aurora was so upset that she had a cerebral hemorrhage.
She lay in the hospital bed, calling out Cora's name. Staring at me with wide eyes, she regretfully said, "In this life, I shouldn’t have chosen an incompetent daughter like you to take care of me in my old age."
I was so heartbroken that I fainted. When I opened my eyes again, I had gone back ten years. It was the very day Micah and Aurora were assigning caregiving responsibilities.
