Kind of helped, met many nice people, and gave condensed info on our lives, we laughed and cried.
I think I am going to meet more often when they come up again.
Hey, I feel it can't hurt, eh?
I'm also going to drop in on the "caregiver support meetings too" several are coming up soon.
I've come to a point, that is way too much, even starting to screw me up, getting into beers, to relax(escape for a few minutes) which was never my nature, so I see this is a warning sign that all of this care is destroying me and my health. With hope the social workers and programs may be able to help me, even save me from alcoholism.
I bet a lot of caregivers, turn to drinking, besides me, eh?
That's a red flag saying to oneself, "you need help asap".
Oh well, that's my take. I plan to meet further when the meetings are scheduled.
