You are the one who remembers the medications, the appointments, the groceries, the bills. Your brother or sister is a ghost in the story, and every request for help feels like another rejection. At 2 a.m., you stare at a text you sent hours ago, still unanswered, and wonder whether to send another or finally stop. This book is for you. It will not tell you to try harder or to forgive and forget. Instead, it offers a clear path: how to see the invisible ledger of care you have been keeping, how to make specific requests that are harder to ignore, how to have the conversation you have been avoiding, and how to set limits that protect your own life even if your sibling never steps up. With compassion and practicality, Emmett Sandoval helps you decide what you will and will not carry alone. You cannot control your sibling. You can change the terms of what you do.
