[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 339048, member: 1835"] Thanks...I actually did have a part-time job, but I couldn't keep my focus for worrying about what was happening at home. He goes about his own business, now that he's retired...putters around in the yard, etc. and keeps himself busy, so we're not at the senior or respite care stage yet (plus he's only 62). But, after a couple of incidents at home, one of which was when he turned on the gas to the fireplace one day and then walked away to turn off the TV before lighting the flame, I knew I had to be here close by to make sure he stays safe. We had both thought to work at least part-time for another few years since we both enjoy working, but, since he's now on a fixed income from his SS, and I'm limited to what I can do while being home, I was hoping that maybe there was some sort of Social Security benefit for those of us who're forced into a caregiver role which doesn't allow them to work away from home.
