Coping In New Territory addresses issues common to many adult children of aging parents. There are scores of books to guide us toward available services. We can do all the research needed to handle their medical, legal, and financial needs. But how do we manage a job, marriage, our children's needs, go to a movie, or take time to read a good novel? ... As a caregiver, you may be feeling grateful to give back to your parent all that he has given to you, But you are just as likely to feel resentful and grumpy. Your feelings today are the result of a lifetime of interactions with your parent. Often the feelings are conflicted; there is the mixture of love and resentment, of anger and patience, the satisfaction of helping and at the same time feeling overwhelmed at what has been heaped upon you. All of this is perfectly natural and normal.  This handbook is not designed to help you resolve any of those feelings. It is designed to help you cope with the results of those feelings, and keep them from crushing you.
