Dear Dáithí: My brother has stopped visiting our elderly mother and I'm picking up the slack

"I think it’s very tough when children have to mind their parents, especially from a young enough age. It’s nobody’s fault, nobody plans it like this, it just happens. When it does, somebody has to be there."

My brother is acting very out of character. He’s more than my brother, he’s my twin. We were always very close, and I would consider him my best friend.
