Re: I'm Taking Care of My Mom
Merry, you were at the end of your rope last time you posted and we are glad to help you hold on!
As has been said before, maybe you just need to set some boundaries there and say how it has to be. That the help is for YOU and you can't keep on without it. That you need some respite. Period!
Your brother is a whole other story. I suppose he does not consider sobriety an option?
I always say "keep the faith" and I hope you will! It is not always going to be like this and you will get through it.
PS: Zoloft will not necessarily turn you into a zombie! But it sure might take the edge off. Why not try something for stress?
