As a caregiver, you have an incredibly difficult job. Taking care of all the household issues plus being an advocate, caregiver and wife to your husband. Thats alot for anyone to manage. Please be good to yourself and take some time for just you once in a while.
I suggest doing lots of reading both here and on the main OCF pages. Educate yourself so you will be ready when you need to advocate for your husband.
Hang in there!
