[quote=Anonymous]I think you should move your relative out of your house. Obviously they will not like this and will try to guilt you and the whole thing will be horrible. Getting them out will be truly, truly awful and difficult, especially as you are currently depleted. But once the relative is out of your house, you will feel this enormous sense of relief and you will feel like you have your life back. And you will have more emotional resources to give to your relative rather than just being their resentful caregiver. I would get support, like your own therapist, specifically to support you in getting your relative out of the house. You will likely get a lot of judgment from people who have never had your experience and who don’t know what this is doing to you. Ignore those people. Focus on yourself and your children. You only have one life. Is this how you want to spend it? [/quote]
