Bio

I am my husbands caregiver. He has Parkinson's I don't seem to be able to get my days on a schedule. I have four adult children: one is mentally retarded and in a Group Home one is Brain Damaged and lives in an Assisted Living Apartment one is living in Virginia one is going to school and has worked at Walmart for 13 years. My husband is verbally abusive to me and I don't know how to handle it. My husband can walk with a walker but hasn't been out of the house for a whole year. He refuses to eat most things I fix finding fault with the food itself - ex: won't eat jello because it is an incomplete protein. He wants me at his side all the time and when I go out he needs to know he can have access to me by phone. he is having more and more difficulty with getting up off the toilet. he uses a urinal because he is incontinent but won't wear diapers * I need some ideas how to take some pressure off of me.!!!!! Thanks
