Hi @Mrscaptargo
Unfortunately we see a lot of similar experiences here in the forums about the lack of awareness and impact someone is having on us. This doesn't seem to be unique to the diagnosis.
You must be exhausted.
I know other members will offer some advice and ideas. My approach is looking at things you can control.. you, specifically looking after yourself.
Last week we ran a Topic Tuesday session on Respite and what is available to people caring for a loved one. You can read more here
@zipper began a discussion about wives caring for husbands, which I think you will find particuarly useful.
Finally, you may find this discussion about Compassion Fatigue helpful too.
These forums are a great place to connect with others in similar situations and to get support and advice. It's such a lovely community of people. I hope you find them helpful.
