Caregiver Stress and Burnout
My spouse has Parkinsons. He is not disabled yet, but is showing signs of dementia. I am about to tear my hair out. He is like living with a big, dumb, spoiled teenager. Most of the caregiver support in my area is focused on taking care of the person you care for. Oh, and don't forget to take care of yourself too. I am so angry. I get no support from family. If anything I get picked on for being angry and frustrated. People need to be more caring toward the caregiver. A kind word or asking how the caregiver is once in a blue moon would be nice.
