Caretaking is scary when you have a parent who does not push your buttons. I am a primary caregiver to my dad who has Alzheimer's. He can still do a lot for himself but he cannot live alone. I am lucky in that right now, he is managable but there may come a point when he won't be. I also have a sister five minutes away who will help out when needed. i am going through some health problems and need all the help I can get.

I say ask your siblings to help you out and don't take NO for an answer. You have helped your mom all this time and now YOU need the help. Your mom will have to accept it because that's all you can do right now. Best of luck, I know it's not easy.
