Wise words from Tot. I have early stage Parkinson’s and have been a carer for my spouse for 15 years and can totally understand your feelings.Being a carer, as you will know isn’t easy but there is support Help and advice | Carers UK - you might like to check the website out. You can make contact with other carers who “get it” whereas friends without caring responsibilities may not. Try and make time for yourself to recharge your batteries. You need to look after yourself to be able to care for someone else. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Can recommend “The selfish pig’s guide to caring - how to cope with the emotional and practical aspects of caring for someone” by Hugh Marriott not that I am suggesting that you, I or any carer is a selfish pig! What you feel is not uncommon or selfish. Look after yourself and good luck!
