I know things are hard and very difficult. But just some words of advice. Life is short for all of us so try not to stress on the little things. Parents are demanding of their children more than they would be of any other person. I don't know why. But they are. They also appreciate you in all that you do wether they tell you or not. Do the best you can and that is all you can do. Try not to be so hard on yourself. Easier said than done. Use caregivers here. They are the most wonderful people on the earth. The support here is tremendous. Write your journals and vent, scream and yell and you will feel better and we all understand.
Most of all take care of yourself. Find time for yourself and try to find good in everyday. Thngs seem to go easier when your in a good mood. Take care and I will keep you in my prayers.
