      Wow you know if I could just for once have everyone say to me,"well that is how it is when they get older." Sheesh if they could spend a week in my shoes.....boy would I love to be somewhere else for a week. I am starting to take care of me a little more and catching up with Dr. appts. It is so easy for me to put all of the focus on Mom, and not care for me I just keep asking myself how does everyone else cope?

      Oh my goodness, thank you so much! You know it started with Dad in 2003, and it has just been nonstop for almost 6 years now. I don't really have anyone to help, since my older sister passed awy almost 30 years ago. It is very overwhelming for relative to "see", and so they offer suggestions, and then vanish. I am trying to find pockets of time for me. It is the hate that I see many days in her eyes that hurts. Even though logically I know she cannot help a lot of the behavior, you do feel isolated. Especially when most people my age have younger children and are in another world, a more normal one. Comes with the territory of being a midlife surprise baby. this is such a wonderful site and it means so much to meet kind people like you! Hugs, Nancy
