[quote=Anonymous]It’s extremely common for non-caregivers to get the best of the elder during their infrequent visit; it may seem to them that things “aren’t so bad” when their loved one is on their best behavior. But caregiving is always a choice. You are living by your own value system (and your sister is living by hers), not for points or favoritism by your mother. It has to be enough. You have to release yourself from any guilt; your north star can be “doing the best I can” but ALSO to prioritize your own health and the well-being of your family. That cannot go by the wayside.[/quote]
