fall back upon

Homework / test English to Indonesian Other Psychology text book
Psychologically, the role reversal between elderly parent and middle-aged child
can be difficult. Besides the obvious stress of the new responsibilities, there is a sense
of sadness at the loss of the parental figure. Even though the middle-aged adult is fully
mature and handles significant responsibilities, it is still upsetting to realize there are
no more “grown-ups” to fall back upon. It is the children who are the grown-ups now,
not the parents.

English term (edited): to fall back upon

untuk [tempat] mengadu


Orang tua yang "terlalu tua" sulit diandalkan sebagai tempat mengadu (dalam makna menampung keluh-kesah, meminta saran, tolong, bahkan uang dan sumber daya lainnya) karena menurunnya fungsi fisik dan mental.

Sekarang, anak yang mesti bertindak sebagai "orang tua" bagi orang tuanya. mulai dari secara fisik: menuntun jalan, menyiapkan makan, dst. hingga non-fisik: mendengarkan keluh-kesah, membujuk minum obat, dst.

Banyak anak yang tidak bisa menyadari dan melakukan pergeseran peran ini.
