Caregiver Stress - I just came home and cried...

It is a little comfort that I am in company of others in taking care of my parents, but today I felt like I was going to break. I tried to make it a nice father's day, but my mother has dementia and she makes things so difficult. I have my own house to take care of, and I am not married. My brothers attitude is that since my children are grown and I am single, I have all the time in the world. I have a stressful, demanding job, and I have no time to distress after work because I constantly worry about my parents, and I am taking care of them almost daily. Getting them into assisted living is easier said than done! It is good to have a place to vent...
