Planning my exit from caregiving does not mean that I don't still care.

Needing to protect myself financially.

It's kinda personal and embarrassing for me to even speak up.

send - of course you still care. Sometimes we have to detach ourselves from the things that get us upset - emotional distance helps. Protecting yourself in whatever way is necessary is always good.

I have 4 adult kids, all on the autism spectrum. They seem to be completely incapable of helping me with my Mom. They barely speak to me anymore. My oldest daughter (also autistic, but has had enough therapy to at least explain why all of them cannot cope in social situations and can't communicate with me). I basically have no help with my Mom, except for my husband. He is a great help, and will do anything needed, but his health is not good. My only sibling has passed away. All of my Mom's family and friends have passed. Is this considered dysfunctional, or just what life has dealt us - I'm not even sure anymore. I feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulders.

breezy - for sure, It's a roller coaster ride.

Lylii1 - you sure have a lot to deal with., Your autistic kids may not be able to help. Glad your husband can help, but sorry his health is not good. I don't know if it is dysfunctional or not but it sure is hard. Can you get any outside help for your mom? Does she have any money to hire them? It would help if you could fill out your prifile and give more details about your situation - is your mom living with you? what health conditions does she have, how much support does she need? do your kids live at home? and so on. Wishing you well. I know this is really tough.

Boy-today has been pretty frustrating. As a reluctant caregiver, I wish I had just bit the bullet and gotten my LO into AL fast. Too bad I don't have the funds to do it quickly. This past week has DRAINED me and I wish I could just remove this type of situation away from both me and my husband. We're seeing out peace torn apart and the reward is a person who is just fading from who they are and sadly, it's not something they can change anymore. I'm just so so so so tired.

Fibromyalgia has new treatments and new understanding for symptoms, I am just finding out.
I am shocked how many symptoms can be explained.
There is no cure.

I realize there is so much more to learn....
