THANK YOU for your words of honesty! My spousal caregiver situation is different, but yet so similar. Sometimes I wonder if I’m imagining things. Communication is extremely limited and most things are left to me, unless they are important to him.
Learning to think of myself first is extremely foreign to me, however, I know I must do this, in order to be a better caregiver.
Thank you again for your sharing.
Linda E.

Hello @lindasmith I am Scott and it is nice to e-meet you here on Mayo Connect. I am glad you found Mayo Connect and the Caregivers group here! I can sympathize with your comment of 'sometimes I wonder if I'm imagining things'. Caregiving is such an alien lifestyle that we are often thrust into with little or no warning and, at least in my situation, no training for it! All of a sudden communications decline as more and more decisions have to be made for our loved one we are in charge of!
You said your situation is different? If you care to share I'd be interested in learning how so.
Strength, courage, and peace!
