A) He will probably feel angry, resentful, depressed, or guilty at some point.
B) While he will have to give his time to caretaking, he should not expect to have to make a financial investment in this responsibility.
C) As long as he remembers to take time for himself he probably won't feel any increase in his stress level, unless his mother's health becomes dire.
D) He should expect his mother, at some point, to insist that he place her in a nursing facility so that he doesn't have to be "burdened" with her caretaking.

Answer 1

A) He will probably feel angry, resentful, depressed, or guilty at some point.

Step-by-step explanation:

Care taking is a responsible work. One should dedicate themselves in caring that person. In the above scenario, Adam’s mother is down due to some health issues. So he decided to take care of his mother.

Adam is a single child and not married yet. So he doesn’t have anyone to help him. Even his father is deceased. So he is the only person to take care of his mother. He thought it is his duty to help her in her time of need. But if the situation of care taking continues he will probably get angry and depressed. At some point he may even feel guilty.
