When you truly, honestly hate yourself

I will check out the Daily Check In.
My physical pain is not intense. My chemo therapy weakens my stamina. My muscles ache as a result. I hope Mundie’s techniques will help your pain. The speaker made it clear that the pain is not alleviated, only our resistance to it.
Your mother is fortunate to have you for a daughter. My “mother” was so gracious to the nurses in the hospital when she broke her hip. When she got home, she was so demeaning to me when I tried to care for her. When I confronted her, she called her sister to come care for her.
Caregiving is tough. Do you know about the articles that suggest tips for caregivers to prevent stress and burnout? If not, I can easily find some.
Your enthusiasm and willingness to explore new materials are refreshing. It is fun to share new ideas and experiences as we all find new ways to solve these perplexing problems.

Thanks so much @aczatx47131 - In general, love learning, always curious, and can't seem to ever get too much info!
As for family & caregiving, would welcome any material / links you'd care to share. Esp. when there are lifetime issues with parent/s that were never addressed by the parents, but which we siblings (in our very different ways) have struggled with - and not very successfully managed, to our detriment.
Very sad situation, but true. But when those involved won't deal with their own issues, and refuse help (which they don't view as helpful), it is hopeless...though for some reason, I keep thinking it is possible....probably also to my own detriment, because I'm not letting go.
ANYWAY - I feel for what you've described as your background, and wish you well with that - it is (or can be, for many of us) insidious.
Best.
