It has to take a lot of strength on your part physically and mentally . My s / o of 27 years has been pretty responsible for myself ( physically and emotionally ) as well as his 86 year old mother ( upstairs ) and I don't know how we'd make it with out him. Or if he were to become ill. : (

You need help or at least a break for doing all you do. Ever think about putting your mom in a nursing home? It not fair to you that you live like this.

No. Family and random patients are completely different ball games.

I think I could, I know I have the inner strength to deal with it.

Probably not and would definitely need help and my heart and prayers go out to those who do because I have seen people do it. There is assistance available through churches and otherwise, as no one who wants to hold on to their sanity and at the same time promote the patience and enormous care and love necessary should even try to attempt to do this without help of some kind.

My heart goes out to you. I do know what you are going through. I have my dad to care for and who still lives on his own because he is a stubborn man and will not move in with us. Right now I can't say as I blame him because my oldest daughter and her hubby and 2 kids have moved in with us and it is like a zoo here. Now my hubby is totally disabled and has been for about 7 years now ljokp[] and won't let anyone do anything for him except me. He is lucky I will do this for him after all the abuse I have suffered from him. To top it all off, I have an adopted daughter who has mental issues. She will be 16 in a couple weeks and thinks she knows it all. Her mental issues keep her from learning and the school has pretty much given up on her. So I know how bad life can get. I send you lots of Love and {{{{{HUGS}}}}}. Best wishes! Please try to take care of yourself, your life is valuable too!
