The majority of aged individuals depend upon family members to protect and care for them. Ideally, family should look out for their own family members and, in many cases, it works. However, a dependence upon others puts you at risk. They may be completely devoted, but unaware of options and resources. They may come to justify sacrificing your interests for their own needs.
