[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There. I said it. I feel mean, but it’s the truth. I hate my existence now.

I am a taxi service, CNA, her entire social support system, her cook, maid, laundress, personal shopper, tech expert, dog walker, scheduler.

I want my life back but I feel in too deep. I’m so depressed. I honestly hate my life so much right now. [/quote]

Don’t feel mean. I was figuratively slapped by two wonderful paramedics into reality when they told me under NO uncertain terms that I was not capable of being the sole caretaker of a family member in hospice, that it would destroy me. It nearly did. It’s been about a year and I am just now at a point where I can begin to heal.  I felt guilt when she went into a hospice center due to a medical emergency as I immediately went back home. Cue the hospice center calling me and harassing me (and I mean HARASSING) to come back to take her home. The woman could not physically walk, lift her hands to feed herself, and was in constant pain, needing 24/7 medication every hour, 24/7. I received one such call while I was picking up my dog’s ashes, after not being home for her when she had to be put to sleep. I lost it on the social worker and she never called again.

No one can do all you are doing without depression, resentment, and anger. It’s too much work. [/quote]
