I'm also a caregiver for my disabled mother, if that's possible, who lives with me now in a small apartment, and somewhat was too when my brothers were living, who suffered strokes, and went to help every day off, holiday and vacation for almost 10 years when I worked, so I know what you mean, but I was able to go home, had my own life, and just started again the next week. That's one of the reasons I think contributed to cancer after wearing myself down. Maybe you need a break, a vacation, a hobby, go to exercise or some other class. I would live to get a puppy, but can't. Like you, with my mom, I can't escape, but going to the doctors by myself does, and with better weather opens up more possibilities. Also having an aide now helps her. Everyone has to make changes for themselves, it's difficult to change anyone, if at all, and can be frustrating.
