DD has a friend who is in her 30s, single, no children or partner. She has some on going health issues (not life threatening) and is currently suffering a painful flare up which saw her in A&E last week. She has appointment with surgeon beginning of October. Her mum attends all her medical appointments with her including travelling to London 4-5 times a year. Her mum had a personal meeting 1/2 hr drive away and cancelled "incase X needs me and I'm so far away"
Would your DD expect you to drop everything and come running ? Would you be attending all her appointments with her ? DD finds this strange, she would not expect me to cancel arrangements just in case she needed further treatment.
Of course if it was serious I would be there in a flash.

I would, if requested and it was serious but my single daughter lives a 4.5hr drive away and wouldn't expect me to rush over to Wales.
My family don't tend to rely/lean on family to help them or even ask for support and neither do I.
We all tend to be over- independent and just get on with whatever needs to be addressed.
