When parents can no longer parent

When Hank Rugg was 16, his father had a stroke that caused severe repercussions. Whereas before he was an authoritative figure, both critical and supportive, now Hank's father needs some help from his son. "Sitting in his electric wheelchair... my dad still tries to be the one guiding me... Except now, I cringe talking about my challenges, because my dad isn’t able to help me anymore." A personal story of the complicated dynamics that happen when parents go from caretakers to needing care, on Youth Radio.
