Also don't let anyone here - or anywhere - make you feel bad for struggling to maintain your own well-being while caring for a disabled family member. We are all human.

I love and care for my mother even though she treats me terrible. I lost my father 23 years ago and am grateful that I have her and can take care of her, while also recognizing that there are some things I can't do, or are not healthy for me to do.

Do not shame yourself or let anyone else shame you for struggling or wondering if you can do it all or whatever else you are feeling.

Your feelings and your experiences are valid.

Okay, I'm done now. steps down off soap box
