I can relate about the family concern. I had to stop my life, move and be a caretaker of my two elderly parents. But sadly my dad passed away in Dec.and I miss him so much. Now I take care of my mom, she is a spunky German. She needs a walker constantly but last year without it, she fell and broke her elbow. Just a month ago she fractured her hip and has been in rehab at a rest home. She will be discharged soon, they feel that she has reached her plateau. I have the responsibility of caring for her and because her balance is so bad, I have to be by her side all the time. She would get the care she needs staying in the rest home but we can't afford it or a personal nurse. I'm so depressed, my boyfriend broke up with me, my dad just died, I have no hobbies and have few interests. I'm taking so much medicine for my major depression and nothing is working. Once my mom passes away I will literally be on my own. No friends or family (that I want to be with). I seriously doubt that I can continue living. I just don't want to be alone. I'm so alone right now, I cry everyday. My life is pathetic
