I know his impatience was a character attribute before (we were together nearly 17 years when this happened) but some of his behaviours are different now. Is there any one out there in a simillar situtation? Not able to find/go to a local support group, and thinking that's probably hat I need about now, |
I'd take Gene's advice and try to find online support groups if you can't find one in your local area. I'd advise also, as rei suggested, maybe hiring someone twice a week for 2 hours so that you can have some time off.
I was in a similar situation 10 years ago, I had to take care of my mother who was bedridden and I did it all by myself, I wish I had looked for some support then.
I wish you and your beloved a lot of strength and hope you find a solution.
