As a geriatric care manager, I am aware of the struggles and challenges that adult children face in maintaining their responsibilities to work and family coupled with caring for aging parents.
Huang et al. [ 55] showed that parents struggled between encouraging their child's independence versus maintaining their responsibilities as parents.
He counselled his men to get over their anger, honouring the dead but maintaining their responsibility to their team and country.
He added: "Some councils will struggle to maintain their statutory responsibilities whilst others will simply see the level of service provision drop significantly".
To manage these concerns, it's essential to work closely with your organization to ensure that colleagues maintain their existing status and responsibilities.
Women are often able to maintain their traditional roles and responsibilities, and so maintain their gender identity, whilst men are more likely to lose their central roles, especially that of protector and provider, which makes it difficult to maintain their sense of themselves as men in the community and family [ 28, 31].

The oppressors maintain their position and evade their responsibility for their own actions.
"Women are expected to educate men… The oppressors maintain their position and evade their responsibility for their own actions.
My favourite bit of business from Audre Lorde ("Black and Third World people are expected to educate white people as to our humanity. Women are expected to educate men. Lesbians and gay men are expected to educate the heterosexual world. The oppressors maintain their position and evade their responsibility for their own actions…") is easily enough applied to class, too, in theory.
