My stress was not all due to caring for my 94 yr old mother. The last two years of LIFE has been a roller coaster from hell.
But the stress of caretaking has been:
Mother's confusion and me trying to correct her
Self-absorbed sibling who is arrogant and useless
Decision making for everything. I could make decisions for myself, but growing up I was constantly told that this was their house. I prefer to be the worker bee and leave decision making to others, but there isn't anyone else.
I was never married and didn't have children, so I never was responsible for anyone other then myself.
I miss quietness and living alone and being able to just go away.
