Hello @chantelle and welcome to Mayo Connect. As you can see, your post has had many responses and I'm sure that many are nodding their heads in agreement with the difficult place you find yourself, now.

You don't say what your husband's limitations are, but I'm guessing that they might be cognitive and physical. Is my understanding correct?

I would encourage you to also post in our Caregiver's support group. Here is a link to those discussions,

What is one thing that you can do for yourself that might help you feel better? Perhaps having lunch with friends, seeing a movie? How might you make that happen?

Yes I do try to have some time with friends. I just can’t leave him for too long. He is so childlike. I know I’m lucky though because we are healthy, just an adjustment, retirement for him soon. Thank you
