At 56, I'm a member of the "sandwich generation," the aptly named in-between time when family ties are both fleeting and consuming. My parents recently moved into a retirement community and in a few months, my daughter will graduate from college and move home with me as she looks for a job. My familial responsibilities are in full swing as I define my own middle age, which looks nothing like I'd expected.
