I have 5 other siblings. 3 are older and live out of state and live very comfortably financially. I work and have many health problems. My other siblings live here but they just don't have any idea how difficult it is for me. I can't get anyone to understand. I want them to call her and have a conversation so maybe it would break up her day. She cries all the time and tells me she hates where she lives. I moved her last year because she hated the last place she moved to. I guess I'm asking how to get my other siblings to realize how hard it is getting for me. I had surgery 1 month ago and found out I had a silent heart attack and I have to reduce my stress. I offer to take her out but she won't be because she's afraid of her incontinence and she says she's shaky but then complains she's stuck in her apartment all the time. Just don't know what to say or do to get her to stop complaining to me all the time and not my other siblings.
Best of luck!
If not, please take her to one. If she is already in treatment, the prescribing doctor needs to be told she needs a meds adjustment.
You need to take care of yourself because if something happens to you Mom is going to be siblings problem and they will find out about caregiving the hard way.
How is that you are the one who does all of the caregiving?
Knowing that you probably can't make your sibs participate more, what are your plans to decrease your involvement and stress?
