As my honey's diseases progress, I have taken on more of the responsibility but I know I need to take on more. This is hard for us because for the 10 plus years we have been together, I have been the income earner and he has taken care of me.

Now I need to learn to cook (it has been years) and find the energy to work, keep the house, etc. And I want to do it gently so he doesn't feel guilty about not being able to accomplish what he used to.

I feel like I am walking a fine line and am very surprised there aren't local support groups for care givers.

I find being his memory is one of the most energy draining parts of taking care of us.

Thanks for giving me a place to vent.
