Meet my son Jacob at age 20. Jacob was eight when our caregiving season started. He’s witnessed a lot during his adolescent and young adult years…we reflect on this, share family memories, and talk about how caregiving may have influenced his life.
We also talk about how he coped with isolation during the pandemic, how he manages school stress, his plans for this summer, and why he decided to delete the TikTok app from his phone.
