Victoria,
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience.
This is my first experience as a primary family caregiver.
I have been a social worker caring for adults with serious mental illness during my professional life. We have no children. I think my karma during this lifetime is taking care of adults. I have a steady yoga practice that helps me immensely take care of myself. However in the last four years I have had only 2 nights away from my husband. I need a vacation badly. Still haven’t figured out how to get one. How are you doing with self care? It’s the hardest, isn’t it.
