I HAVE CARED FOR MY MOTHER IN LAW FOR THE LAST 17 YRS. WE MOVEDHER TO TEXAS AFTER WE GOT MARRIED, MY HUSBAND IS A ONLY CHILD. SHE HAS SINCE GONE DOWN HILL. SHE IS ON OXGYEN 24/7 AND IS SOMEWHAT LOSING HER MIND. SHE IS ANGRY AND VERY HATEFUL TO ME. I AM HER PRIMARY CAREGIVER SINCE SHE WON'T LET MY HUSBAND HELP HER. SHE HAS NOW FALLEN AND BROKEN HER PELVIC BONE IN 2 PLACES AND HER HIP. SHE IS VERY RESENTFUL BECAUSE WE SENT HER TO A NURSING HOME DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO CARE FOR HER. I AM FEELING RESENTFUL AND ANGRY TO HER AND MY HUSBAND BECAUSE I FELT FORCED TO RETIRE FROM A JOB I LOVED FOR OVER 20 YRS. I DECIDED I NEEDED TO WORK FOR MY SANITY. SO AFTER I WENT TO WORK IS WHEN SHE FELL. AFTER SEEING HER IN THE NURSING HOME CHRISTMAS I DECIDED SHE NEEDED TO BE AT HOME. SHE HAS LOST DOWN TO 90 POUNDS AND IS UNHAPPY. I TOLD HER WE ARE BRING HER HOME ON TUESDAY. I HAVE NO IDEAL HOW I AM GOING TO WORK 12 HRS A DAY AT NIGHT AND CARE FOR HER DURING THE DAY AND STILL FIND TIME TO SLEEP AND TAKE CARE OF MYSELF. WE DO HAVE HOSPICE COMING IN 3 DAYS A WEEK FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS, BUT THEY DON' T REALLY SEEM TO DO ALOT. THEY ARE MORE OF A PROBLEM THAN A HELP. ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS OTHER THAN ME STAYING HOME AND GIVING UP MY LIFE
