Wow. I have no adequate words. You are walking such a hard road. I relate to all the feelings you described. Sometimes I feel like caregiving is challenging me, testing me in ways I never imagined. Bringing out feelings I would not have believed I would have, and of course want to reject the negative ones! (Nothing violent or abusive or anything, but self-pitying, resentful, offended, shocked, hopeless, etc). When I stop and reflect, and pray about them, I often am led to understand where they are coming from. We are just human after all!

You are carrying a lot at an age that no one expects to be enduring such suffering. It hurts my heart to imagine all that you must endure. I’m glad you posted and I pray you will make encouraging connections here!

@babbsjoy I appreciate your reply. Yes, i feel things that I never imagined I could feel. All the ones you mentioned. There are moments when I can step back, and take control of the negative feelings, and turn them around, and then there are times that that is the most impossible avenue to take. I keep thinking-this is happening to teach me something-to learn and grow from it. Thank you for being here on this thread. And thank you all for being whoy ou are and for being out here!
