[quote=Anonymous]I have been at it almost 6 years since my mother had a stroke and I am just so over it. She lived with me, tried living with my brother then moved to an assisted living place. She has dementia and is declining but it is still just moving into the moderate stage. I sacrificed a lot of time and effort that in hindsight I should have spent with my husband and kids. I now have tried to distance myself which is hard when I am the closest sibling (10 min away vs. 8 hours). I get calls from where she lives or from relatives that she is depressed but I can't give up my life anymore as I became anxious and depressed from the stress. Honestly I am giving up and going to do the bare minimum. [/quote]
