Hello, Bmeyeho2. Being a caregiver is difficult under the best of circumstances. You do not abnegate your right to your own life by becoming one. Your mother may not change, but you can choose to love yourself and jettison the guilt that haunts you. Now is the time to work on building a support base for yourself.
