Burn out is absolutely real, and I hope the end of summer will mean some school day respite for you. My husband and I are infinitely looking for respite. On paper, my son is qualified for chunk of hours every year - finding actual providers (who will work for what the state agencies pay) for a date night or even a weekly shift, is next to impossible.
Yes indeed. I loved my husband and was his caregiver for years. The burden was immense but most people only concentrated on how my husband was, not how I was. We need to be kind to each other. The burnout is real!
This is A LOT and I’m glad you shared just because selfishly it helps me know I’m not alone in this human miasma of caregiver emotion and responsibility. Thank you, and good rest and restoration to you. Gita
