About this listen

For adults in their 40’s to 50’s with at least one parent age 65 or older and one or more grown children, over 55% provide emotional support to both their aging parents and grown children. And women are more likely than men to say their aging parent relies on them for emotional support on a frequent basis - 4 in 10 women vs 3 in 10 men. Emotional support isn't just the only kind - over 13% of middle-aged adults w/ aging parents provide all 3 types of assistance - practical, financial and emotional assistance to an aging parent.

In today's episode, Erin & Elizabeth talk about the emotional toll of being in the sandwich generation. Listen in and see if you can relate to this situation.
