I do not have anyone to lean on as my spouse is an only child and both parents are gone. I lost both my siblings when we were in our teens. My parents are dealing with a very aggressive cancer and I also feel that I need to be there for them as well (probably since I am all they have left as well). "Do I have too much guilt?
