[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And I forgot to add I no longer want to take her to the numerous doctor, dentist, optometrist, hearing aide visits, lab visits etc. [/quote] "I can't make that appointment. Sorry." Re: your siblings - sorry, but every other year is not really acceptable here. Unless they are in extreme financial straits they both should be doing twice a year visits and scheduling routine doctor visits during their time there. As far as what to tell them? I'd tell them you have caregiver burnout and simply can't do it all on your own. That you love them and want your mother to be cared for, but you have to step back for your own health. Do you work? There's another reason, if so. [/quote]
