Caregiver fatigue is a very common situation.  I watched my father & sister (who managed the majority of my mom's care before she died) & they were stressed & exhausted. 


I watched how very numb they were & the slow return to life they are experiencing. 


Parenting our difficult children, in my humble opinion, is a different fatigue.  It's lifelong - there is very little closure with a mental/emotional illness.


That is where respite & self caring comes into play.  Even the best of us crack under the level of pressure our little wonders bring into our homes.


Take care of yourself.
