Should I feel guilty if I put my mother in the nursing home just for some respite care for me?

No, no guilt. You do the best you can and when you need a break you take one for yourself and for their own well being. Yiu can't care for them if you are bogged down yourself. Good luck.

I just posted about feeling guilty about putting stepmom in assisted living. I guess you just have to do what you need to do, in your case for respite care, give yourself a break.
