Question

I thought I was alone in how I felt about taking care of my mom. I am her caregiver 24/7. I am stuck in the house all day and barely get to go anywhere. I was feeling smothered. But now I see how others deal with the same problems I have with my mom. It lets me know I am not alone in this and has given me a totally different outlook on taking care of her. I love her even more.

My mom tells me daily how much she loves me. She asks me every day, about 25 times  a day, if I love her.  Yes, momma, I love you, I say.  I was getting really tired of it but then remembered a prayer I had said to God after my divorce.  Please God, give me someone that will tell me everyday, how much they love me.

Welcome! Isn't it nice to have a site where we can actually say what we are feeling? The people here are great. Someone said it best in another thread -- we have two sides, the caregiving side and the human side. It is so nice to have a place to show our human side.
