I have not been a caregiver very long but I read a lot of blogs and have noticed that many caregivers are exhausted and resentful. So far I'm doing all I can to take care of myself and allow my husband and daughter to help me. A few women from my church help me out when my daughter can't and I really appreciate them. Hattie, you are so right. I have not been a caregiver very long but I read a lot of blogs and have noticed that many caregivers are exhausted and resentful.

A few women from my church help me out when my daughter can’t and I really appreciate them.

My mother and my husband's mom did their best in that regard. One mistake they both made was trying to hide how much help they needed, which means they got into a lot of trouble that they could have spared themselves. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it, is my advice. After experiencing caregiving as we have, we are working to make things as easy for our children as we can.
