Hey @godsgiver Al, I am so sad for the very difficult situation you are handling. My husband is struggling with Mild Cognitive Impairment and one of my biggest struggles is dealing with the feelings of isolation - and making time for me. So I kinda understand how you feel there. But the point you raise about being in that role w/o LOVE, is profound. Like @IndianaScott, I definitely struggle with anger - more times than I wish - but the fundamental underlying love keeps me on track along with the knowledge that my husband would do it for me in a heartbeat if our situations were reversed. I'm glad you are here on Connect. There are so many caring, thoughtful people here that you will definitely have built-in buddies! Do you have any "in person" support people for you? Or groups - like church? I find that kind of connection just invaluable and I'm hoping you have some of that in your life. Take care and stay here on Connect!

debraw, thank you. Being isolated is a constant. If I do get out it is always to run for xyz, groceries, CVS, ... no leisure activities until just recently. My wife & I get out 2 Saturdays a month as our friend comes as sitter, companion.
