Yes, and I'm doing it right now.
As children, are we obligated to take care of our parents?

Speak up...
Always and of course. I wouldn't imagine it any other way. In fact, my main motivation for success is to be able to care for my mother and father as they age to a point where they can't support themselves -whether it be health or monetary. I also do it for the kids (future children) -as in setting a good example, because I damn sure expect the same to do the same for me. We live in a society where the sick aren't elderly aren't valued -especially older black people, so I'd be damned if my mom or dad live their last years wallowing in a nursing home. 
Bad/Absent parents aside...simply because I didn't have to deal with that shyt. But I understand how that may be someones reality, which explains your feelings towards caring for an elder in their twilight years.

Don't West Africans typically have the grandparents in the same house?
I know they don't hate her, they have said as much themselves. They love so much her supposedly. They have all the promises and ideas in the world for what to do with her and her care. They want to give suggestions but don't want to do the work. Too busy, or too depressed, or in denial, blah blah blah all excuses. I wasn't there but I have heard all the stories from the horses mouth. The main offender... I am not even going to go there. They are just sorry and selfish.

i feel you
the same happened with my mom's mom
my mom ended up doing everything for her and the other 12 kids didnt do shyt
one of my aunts even stole the money my Gmom received after Katrina to repair her house
but my Grandfather beat all of them as kids and tortured them so i just assumed they took that out on my gmom

Sounds like me and my sister.
Yes you are obligated
My aunt is the most selfish self centered person ever. My grandparents bought her a house cash, all she had to do was pay the insurance. She let is lapse, then the house caught on fire, not even bad, she just walked away from it. Their whole investment down the drain. She has stolen money and took advantage of my Gma when she first started showing signs of the disease. Having her go get her money, putting cars and credit cards in her name, and having her sign off on stuff.
She didn't abuse them.
Sorry that you have to go through it. It is really sad. It is like where would you have been if your parents treated you like you are treating them in their time of need.
