Find Care & Housing
1 2 3
to baxterri: I don't know if there is any true answer to that and GOD will NOT punish you for not taking care of them. God understands what we are going thru and not everyone can deal with the stress of caregiving. I can't quote any places in the Bible but maybe your boyfriend feels that way cause of how he is. We just put my father(91) in a home suffering from several falls/later moderate stage of dementia to severe stage. My mother (87) can no longer care for him properly, she was putting her own health at risk since she is diabetic. Do I feel bad for my father; yes; but then I can't quit my job to take care of him, and they do not want anyone living in their house with them. So you do what you feel best and visit when you can. WE have to take care of ourselves also, remember that.

If we do not take care of ourselves, we will lose the ability to help others. Our bodies can revolve and make it physically impossible for us to be caregivers for anyone else. Easier said than done. I had a car & the clutch went out. I could no longer drive it anywhere. I think caregivers need to be taken care of like our cars need to be maintained. Otherwise our clutches will fall out and we will be not be any good to anyone.
