But, even then, there were times she wanted to scream and run away. It's a really hard part of life and I just hope someone will love and take care of me when I get old.

For the sake of my post, I will assume that she is. Your ex-husband and his siblings are the responsible parties to provide care for their mother - not you. If you want to offer your time occasionally, you should do so, but it should be your choice - not your ex-husband's. He can hire caregivers or a conservator for his mother if he is so inclined. If she is not in a long term care facility, she needs to be for her safety. No one can take this burden from you except you. Don't let guilt keep you from standing your ground with your ex-husband. You have shown what you're made of. You don't have to prove anything. He does, however!

The tragedy of Alzheimer's or senility is to the caregivers, not the patient. You have a lot of life left, she has none. Her children must step up so you can step out.

I hesitate to mention it, since you've probably looked into it already, but there are a lot of communities that provide free or inexpensive elder care during daytime or working hours so that caregivers can have a break and stay healthy. Take care of yourself! Your health and sanity is the lynchpin for everyone else and their needs - whether they recognize it or not.<br /><br />http://www.alz.org/carefinder/support/support2.asp<br /><br />-SFSanity Fairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00837572570886461071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043721957359281413.post-79857351785433561912010-05-09T21:33:01.149-04:002010-05-09T21:33:01.149-04:00blog authors
