My dad died after a horrible year of stress and very little sleep for me. Relieved he is not suffering but I can’t sleep over 5 hours Help!
Mom is obsessed with mournful, victimized past. She needs constant reassurance. I have nothing left to offer her. Any advice?
Experienced CGs - does there ever come a time when you finally say - I get it; I understand this struggle; I’ve learned from it?

Bevcha, I agree with Babalou.
Feelings are not facts. The fact is you are a great daughter taking the very best care of your mom.

Are you doing something wrong? Guilt is for those who are doing evil acts. Getting your mother professional careging when she needs it does nit strike me as being wrong or evil. It's a caring act.
