Im not sure how I found Connect. My husband had an angry outburst one afternoon and I was so angry and hurt I began just looking around on google...MCI, support groups, managing anger as a caregiver etc. So, I literally stumbled across Connect and began reading some posts. I then wrote a post about MCI and was shocked to receive several replies immediately and their stories resonated. Each day I work my way through other places on the site, and find reading even old posts helpful and so humbling as women (mostly) describe what they are called on to do and be as a caregiver. So many describe the personal toll it its taking on them, recognizing there is no single, perfect answer or solution. It frightens me to think about what is ahead. I think this is tough now...yikes! I don't want to even think about the future.
