I've been my dad's primary caregiver for 2 years since my mom passed away suddenly. My sister lives in NY and calls him but I am the one doing all the heavy lifting so to speak. I cook, clean, shop, drive, walk the dogs, pay the bills and everything in between. I can't work because he and the house take up all of my time so while he is writing checks to every charity asking for help I'm moving closer to poverty using up all my savings paying my own bills.
