Im the youngest of 4 children and for the longest the one left to take care of my mother it seems like just mine. She recently wrecked her vechile due to my brother in prison my second oldest sister none of us talk to at all due to negative and always tryin to get ppl in trouble and then that leaves me the youngest and my oldest sister and since of April 13,2026 its been me and only me w the help of one of daughters that was living w me in my apartment now she's their by herself w my two granddaughters and I'm living w my mom for the time being to see what help I can get w her and to be a live in care taker. It's been stressful ,rough, overly emotional, overly exhausting, she had a concussion and not w the right cognitive function and still I think it's due to onset of dementia or Alzheimer's idk just yet but a lot of these stories on here w advise and talking bout what they are going through and such helped out a lot. And yes it's the constant needing,wanting, are you busy after just sayin not even 5 min ago tellin her I'm bout to go sit and eat or relax and such and knowing I just said that. To her where are you thinking she's alone I've noticed when she dnt see me up and moving or even visible for her to see me. I've read something sto help her realize I'm still here just not up and moving. I have had a burnout and still their but I got a break to get rest but it wasn't for very long knowing it's just me my older sister and I had it out w eachother amd she told me Not My Problem you got to take care of her. Like she didn't even claim her as her mother. I was the one and just finding out when my mother was pregnant w me she wished she wasn't pregnant and didn't want me at the time of being pregnant w me in her belly. Now I have to put feelings and emotions in time out to try and process what I'm the world just happened this mother's Day when I came to find out all this. Like a huge slap in the face after I quit my job, put my life on hold after gettin where I wanted to be I finally made that goal to made it. To where had to stop it all to take care of her and no financial what do ever I have now and dnt know which way I'm going but only on prayers and one day at a time. I have issues and problems of my own I keep on and dnt tell her or anyone. I cnt even go to my Drs to get my anxiety meds and such back at this time and trust me everything up to the sky. And sometimes I think she did this b cus before the wreck my oldest sister and niece said she told them I gave up on her ,I'm leaving her and the only thing I was doing is living the life and gettin where I wanted to be instead it always being about her and for her and stopping what I want for her. Like now after finding things out I'm at a stand still but still wanting to be here to take care of her so she dnt go into a nursing home but dnt want to be here due to the hurt and upset feelings I have and that's why I put emotions and feeling in to.e out b cus right now it her health that needs caring for after this wreck and her still and having cancer. I just dnt know anymore except to be the care giver n day by day to get my life jk and help I need financially
Keep in mind she probably suffers from dementia so what you've heard about her "not wanting you" when she was pregnant is probably not HER talking but the rantings of a sick brain.
My question is, who's going to take care of YOU when you break down from all this care you're giving to your mother?
Take my advice and either mother pays to hire in home help or you place her in Skilled Nursing care with Medicaid funding it. You need to get back to work and earn money and Social Security quarters for your retirement.
Best of luck to you.
