Over 2 yrs ago I moved in with my 80 yr old sister to take care of her. Cleaned up her finances by giving her mine . Now when I say she needs assisted living I’m told by other sister and nephew that I’m exaggerating her symptoms so I can do that. I’m 75 and am am down on hands & knees cleaning her up and dressing her. I’m so angry and hurt. Also exhausted.

For me, is the burnout of day in day out care for 6 years which has consumed my life. Although I have help with caregivers, I am managing them as well and it is a lot when dealing with my own health issues.

And trying to be really in the zone of being present, calm, loving and patient with my mom who has Lewy Body Dementia when I am with her.
