Needing to talk about this
It's embarrassing. It would help if I had a partner to share concerns with, but I don't. It would help if my low life sister was the slightest bit involved with her mother, but she isn't. It's all on me. Shopping for food, clothing, carting her around, pushing the wheel chair, setting up and making sure she gets to doctor appointments, dealing with all the financial concerns and lack of interest from relatives, becoming her entire social life, having to have conversations when I don't feel like talking, answering questions totally unconnected to what is going on around us, repeating things quickly lost from short term memory and listening to the same stories of long ago events over and over again, having to sleep in the same room with her, absolutely no place in my own home to call my own space, and much much more is making me crazy. It is worse since I left employment and am at home all the time. I know there are support groups, but that is not what I need. I need someone to talk with about this, on a personal, private basis, thus, the blog.
