[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP with an update. I went to my doctor for a yearly physical and we talked about stress. He said he has seen a lot of middle age women get burned out caring for parents. It’s starts out thinking it will be temporary and the next thing you know it’s five years later. You realize too late you are burned out and have missed out on spending a substantial amount of time with your spouse and kids. He said reconsider it.

Then a cousin called and told me my mom had complained to my uncle (her brother) that I treat her like a child and give her meds like she is incapable (which she is).

So I realized it wasn’t worth it getting paid or not. I went the next day and set up medication management and am now at the beach with my kids and husband. It’s been great not dealing with anything for a week. [/quote]

I’m happy for you but I hope you also see your sibling was doing what you should have been doing all along and actually you were being a martyr for no real reason. [/quote]
