I am so sorry. My story parallels yours in a number of ways. I too have health problems that have worsened with my caregiver role. I too, wonder, when is my turn? I am exhausted most of the time but his needs never end. I have been, in the last few days, angry. Do you get angry? Then I feel guilty for being angry. He can’t help what is happening to him. I hang on to the memories of our loving relationships and adventures in the past. It is the present and future that scare me.

@shewhowatches1 Thanks for your kind and understanding words ! If we met, I bet we would both talk all day, in great relief to have such a one to confide in ! Yes, I sure do get angry ! At him, for not
being able to do better ! (But, how in the world did he get this way ?!). Angry at family for not “getting “ it ! Angry at myself for losing patience, lack of physical strength, and losing hold of my emotions, at times. Yes, ANGRY ! Not fair. (And, now, you see. . I am being unreasonable).
