I've looked after other people who weren't in as good shape as I, were either much younger or much older, or had some further problem (drugs, schizophrenia), all my life. And have just occasionally wondered how the caregivers end up. There are support groups for people under the stress of taking care of others, and a time or two I've been tempted to look into that, but one of the major stress-out factors in having the responsibility for someone else is total lack of time, so it's a non-starter concept in a way.
Caregivers are often found to have been more or less unknowingly harboring some important ailment of their own that they haven't had time to address. I think that's what's gonna happen to me.
It can happen without warning. So please take care Slim, none of us needs any more grief/stress than is already available to us, OK?
With Love, I am,
