Looking for Online Support Group

I am 55 years old.  My husband, 77, was diagnosed about three years ago with dementia  I take care of him in our home with the assistance of my son, who helps lift him because I can’t.  I make sure he has his meds, drive him to appointments, take him for rides in the car. He has been having lots of problems lately with forgetting things.  I sit about three feet from him at night to keep an eye on him so he doesn’t fall out of his electric chair. He sleeps a lot.  I am looking for a support group online because it’s difficult for me to get away and just relax and talk to people..  Thank you.
