I am struggling to find help for my mother as she fights with this disease. She is so scared, anxious, and confused. I am now her primary caregiver and I am worried I am losing her. She was abused in her second marriage and suffered from multiple mental breakdowns. Since I resemble my father, she is always hateful towards me and has always singled me out when she is "off". Feeling defeated today...
