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.

caregiver's support groups are great to manage one's sanity. Another saving grace are adult day care centers, dementia respite grants and a found and regularly used respite provider. We hit the wall so quickly with burnout sometimes we can't see it coming. Good luck.

Thanks, dear people, for your replies.
I saw my pdoc., and he did not give me much hope about mom and possible future Alzheimers in the next phase of the sucessionn of dementia. . .  I confided in him, that I no longer know where I am going with this. I must admit, I'm not suicidal or anything like that,no alarm,. . . nada. I'm just worn,torn, and super depressed, can't sleep well,etc., so he gave me Sonata script and re-newal for Ativan, if needed besides my "normal" monthly meds. It's all unfair, I'm almost off of all meds, or near that, then mom "F"'s up my life and my familie's, butyet, me, the moron, feels this moral obligation, to keep caring for her. Bottom line, my life is drained, and how long can I keep going on? . . . the martyr?? Ah, gang, I'm just venting, no reply to this expected. Thanks, Roe
