Hi I'm a 23 yr old caregiver of an ALS pt. My mother. My mother was Dx in 2005 she has beaten all the odds. She is totally helpless. Has maybe 10% mobility which is still chewing n swallowing (although getting difficult) on her own & can still manuever her electric w/c. Me n my dad take care of her. & my grandma. Idk why but latly I'm just starting to feel the toll on my mothers ALS.Im tired of caring for her. It's so hard & I also have a 22 month old little girl I take care of & I go to school n work part time. I dnt knw wat to do anymore. I want to put her in a nursing home. But I feel like god is going to punish me for being tired of my mom n wanting to get rid of her. I find myself getting angry everytime I have to do something for her. Y am I angry? Why is it hard for me to just have the strength n soft heart to feel sorry for her & wanting to help her. Idk I'm new to this && I just wanted to know if any other care giver feels like I do.
