[quote=Anonymous]It’s hard OP. I feel similarly about my mom. And now she’s the most time consuming part of my life. When I don’t put her first I feel horrible guilt, mostly because she really doesn’t have anyone else so without me she’d be completely on her own. And she needs full time care. I try to disengage and sometimes pretend I’m just helping a needy old woman who can be incredibly challenging and sometimes downright mean. I just can’t bring myself to not help her. I remind myself that this can’t go on forever. Maybe I’m being punished for something I did in a past life, maybe my future life will be better due to the care I’m providing. I just know who I am as a person, and I need to remind myself to stay the course. I envy my friends who have easy aging parents.[/quote]
