I think all caregivers are put through hell in varying degrees. I feel as though I've been put through hell in all aspects of caregiving. It seems like everything that can cause caregiver burnout is happening to me. It seems as though my elderly mother finds some twisted joy in tormenting me. She gets angry at the smallest thing......if I complain about being tied down constantly from caring for her.....she get very mad......she'll say....."You can go out and do whatever you want." Some days aren't as bad, while others are terrible.....where I feel like a prisoner. The curse continues.....
