The guilt that my mother gives me because i need respite

I really don't know how all this blogging stuff works, but i am trying to find someone anyone that can help me get through this time of guilt my mom is giving me because i need respite i need sleep time to catch up on bills , catch up with my kids. My mom has alzheimers plus a lot of medical physical issues, and oh she uses it in so many ways to manipulate me into getting her way on everything. I tried to sit and explain how i was so tired and how i need some rest and some help, how hospice has offered to take mom for up to 5 days to help out so i can get some rest. Mom has used guilt to make me feel like a horriable daughter and how i'm abandoning her. That is so not true i am just exhausted.
