"Trapped" that is terrible! I did the best I could for both parents until they passed with next to NO help from 3 other siblings. They only wanted what they thought they were owed!

I felt that way too but hindsight, I would do it all over again, it was a short time in my life. She passed away unexpectedly, I’d do anything to take care of her again, I miss her terribly💔😭

It's so hard. I miss my mom everyday, but it was so hard being the only sibling to care for her at the end.

Were you in my head tonight? I'm so resentful I cannot go visit my daughter and see her new place because I don't have anyone to stay with my mom that I trust and feel comfortable with.

I don't feel trapped while taking care of my mom who has dementia but I do feel overwhelmed because I'm battling cancer too🔥🔥

You’re not responsible for your parents. Adults need to plan for their elderly care, if they failed at that it’s not the children who should put their lives on hold for them.

I know the feeling. Had plans to go to Vegas for a few day. My dad fell and broke his hip. No trip for me. Lol But I would have felt so guilty if I wasn’t here when it happened. I don’t have regrets.

That's why respite was invented. I have been using respite for 6 years now. I will never not go away because I'm a caregiver, that's crazy!

I ALWAYS told them I would be with them until the end and I witnessed both of their cremations. I miss them both terribly and wish I could have a do-over for more time with them.

I felt this way about taking care of my husband that acted like he was dying for three years. I felt trapped and he did not want me to leave the house. Then I woke up. Now I live my life.

I gave my mother the metaphor that she is fighting the person who is saving her from drowning. She laughed and said, “I get to kill you and me then. That’s what drowning people do.”
