Caregiver fatigue is real! I suffered physically from the stress related ailments I got during my prior caregiving responsibilities. It was brutal. I actually got night terrors from it. Placing her helped, but I was still tied to those responsibilities for 6 years. I’m now approaching that level with my parents. So, I know the current situation is unsustainable. It’s not worth the cost of my health. I appreciate it’s different when it’s a spouse, but the damage is still real. Good luck in your transition, if that’s what you choose.
