[quote=Anonymous]The exact same kind of situation is happening in my family right now. My MIL is 87 and wants her immediate family at her side for everything. She feels more secure and safe that way. She most likely doesn't have any idea of the severe toll this takes on everyone, and even if she did, she still wants them there. But the family has turned a new corner, so instead of letting the her make all the decisions, they have had to step in and start making more realistic decisions for her. That's how it has to be. There must be a team effort to ensure that everyone's personal life is taken care of too. And in your case, bringing in a new set of hands to handle some of the tasks sounds logical. You seem to have a big heart and that is so beautiful to see. Being a caretaker brings with it many sacrifices of love. It puts your emotions in a very vulnerable place. What you feel is valid and important. Please be good to yourself and find the freedom and confidence https://bit.ly/2LbJFol to take advantage of more help. [/quote]
