I know that there are others out there that are helping care for their parents. I would love to have some place to go to vent. To commiserate. To share ideas and frustrations.
My mom had a stroke 2 years ago and has had several since. She is no longer able to drive, so I have to take her to appointments, shopping etc. I am lucky because at this point she is still able to live by herself, but we have to check on her frequently. She refuses to go live anywhere else and she keeps EVERYTHING!! I also have a full time job and a 11year old and 5 year old.
She says to me--Well I help with my mom like this--YEAH--and we were all grown or in college!! Sometimes I feel like she is being very selfish--then it makes me feel selfish. UGH!!
I hate this!!
I know there are others out there--Can we support each other??
