I have a 13 year old and 19 year old living with me who pretty much depend on me for everything. My stressers right now is being overwhelmed with responsibility. Working, doctor appts. taking daughter too and from work, cooking, taking care of pets, household chores, making necessary phone calls and trying to keep everything and everyone functioning. I may get 30 minutes in a day for myself if I'm lucky. My daughter is disrespectful and uses me for what gratifies her. Told me she had no mom last night during a fight, really hurt. I laid in bed last night and had dark thoughts and it was VERY hard to talk myself out of it. Just feel like I can't breathe and I can't reach out for help.
Not sure what respite care is.
