Ich lass Dich nicht im Stich, Mama! Wenn Kinder die Eltern pflegen | WDR Doku

When children care for their parents: Michelle is 20 years old and has graduated from high school. She often had to forgo going out and seeing friends. For the past 10 years, she has been caring for her mother around the clock, ever since her mother was diagnosed with lung cancer. Michelle cooks, does the laundry, and helps her mother dress and undress. "Sometimes I get sad and think about my friends who don't have as much to do. But I don't want to let my mom down." __ More documentaries on this topic:    • Kinder & Familie   A film for "People Up Close" by Eva Fouquet and Jessica Szczakiel. This film was produced in 2019.
