This study examined the effects of parent care on the quality of adult daughter–aging parent relationships and the effects of these relationships on the mental health of daughters. One hundred ninety-six daughters who participated in the first two waves (18 months apart) of a longitudinal study ofwomen inWisconsin were included in this analysis. Structural equation modeling results show that providing care to a parent with both cognitive and physical impairments, but not to a parent with physical impairments only, takes a toll on the quality of the daughter-parent relationship. The quality of the daughter-parent relationshipwas found to be negatively associated with depressive symptoms in the daughter, and this association is largely accounted for by the daughter’s self-esteem.
