@carolreid I understand where you’re coming from. I have all of the same feelings. I am not a saint and I am not able to fake being a saint. We get this disease thrown into our lives and feel like we’re expected to be stoic, pull the pieces together and be a wonderful example of the perfect caregiver. Not everyone is cut from that cloth. My husband likes to try and turn the tables on me. He comes to me all concerned and says “Are you alright? You spend so much time in your office all day and you’re so mad all the time”. I’m trying to keep my head above water with all of my new responsibilities, I’m so overwhelmed and I can’t even turn to him for condolences. I also set myself apart to avoid the constant announcements, narrations and surmising all day.
I’m just rambling now…. But you get the gist.

@lkbous
I've only been reading these posts for a few days, but so far I do think it helps to know that I am not the only one feeling this way.

@lkbous Well said this is so far The most helpful thread I have been on so far I also get he must be mad at me.
