Sylvia (anness)
Age: 67
Gender: Female

Only child taking care of 87 yo mom for past 12 years since her stroke. Recently fell and broke arm and I had to quit job to move in with her and take care of her until hopefully she heals and can live alone again. I have a home 6 blocks away so I can always be here for her.
I have started to feel exhausted and depressed and I will not have any life left except just more and more intense caregiving. I yearn to just run away, but that is unacceptable.

I am caring for my mother, Mom, who is 89 years old, living at home and the primary ailment is general age-related decline.
