About Me
I'm 32 years old, married, work as a dental assistant and basically im an only child. My mother is the main care giver for my father who has alzheimer's. Ive been searching for a place to talk about how i'm feeling, as i don't like to put the burden on my mother; whom i have to be strong for.

Good Luck
Well I trust you taking the parents out went well. I can totally understand that you are very busy. Quite ok when you write when you have a spare moment. My mom had a bit of flu and I had a struggle with the nursing home to get her medication. It is winter here and they often let her sit in the chair without covering her legs and feet warm enough. We bought socks, but it disappears, I will have to mark it with her name more prominently. Hang in there! Dana

You are going through a very difficult time emotionally. And if the very people (read Dickhead)you trust to support you let you down, it is worse. I am glad that your auntie is a bit more understanding now. Maybe the cousin will also see the light one day. I am here if you need to talk or vent.

It is sometimes easy for people (like your relatives) who are not directly involved to criticise. Have they ever offered to assist you and your mum to take care of him for a few weeks? Maybe you should ask if they are willing, and if not, tell them they'd better stay out of it. A crisis has a way of sometimes bringing out the best but often also the worst in people! Do rest and get some of your energy back.

i know what you are going through. I have also had relatives like that. my advice is to let it go. because with all that fustration built up you might end up snaping on the one you are trying to help. I know cause thats what I did. stay strong and take care of your self it will all get better.

: Advancedmy father is a 75 year old man with Middle stage alzheimer's. My mother is the main care giver, but thank goodness i only live approximately 4 minutes away, as i have had to be called numerous times for emergencies with my dad.He was a very difficult man before the disease, but now even more so. I'm my mothers only support and i feel like i'm drowning.
