Hi, Valorie- the advice above pretty much sums up why we are all here-to share our common ground. Caregiving requires many of the same skills as walking a tightrope while juggling 20 plates in the air and your wardrobe needs to include various hats as well [the one I wore most was the "nurse from Hell" hat, altho I also got to wear the "guardian angel" hat and the "wonderful wife" hat on occasion] Just remember, we are here- chances are that down the road you will need to visit.
