Austin – Business District Publishing, LLC, publisher of Business District Magazine, today announced that its guest for Business District Hour, Sunday, August 5th at 3 p.m. CST. will be Jim Comer, author of  When Roles Reverse: A Guide to Parenting Your Parents. Callers with questions for Jim can call (512) 390-1370 during the show and ask questions.

Comer's book chronicles his journey through the emotional and practical challenges of becoming his parents' caregiver. When his father suffered a massive stroke and his mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, Comer found himself an overnight parent at the age of fifty-one. In almost 11 years of care-giving, he has learned how to deal with hospitals and nursing homes, replace hearing aid batteries and come to terms with his mother's dementia. In the process, he found kindness and laughter in unexpected places and forged a deeper, more intimate relationship with his parents.

“Most people are not prepared for the challenges that is thrust upon them when their parents become unable to care for themselves,” said Jason Myers, co-host of the Business District Hour and publisher of Business District Magazine. “We plan to talk with Jim about issues he faced with his parents and how others in the same situation can prepare. We welcome call-ins with questions for Jim Comer at 390-1370, and we will be giving away copies of his book.”
