I am new to this site. My mom has lived with us for 14 yrs come Oct. She has always had arthritis and has had 2 knee replacements and a hip replacement. She is in fairly good health but my problem is that it has been FOURTEEN years of her here with me, hubby, and 2 kids. I am finding it hard to "keep it up" these days. I am short in my conversations with her, avoid her (in my own home) and I just need to get away from the situation a lot. Normal feelings, I am sure but where does one find the "fight" to keep going with normal, daily, stuff??? Any suggestions?

Can you improve your bedroom so that it is your own private space where you can go and close the door to get away from everyone?
I would also suggest seeing a therapist where you can safely vent your feelings and perhaps discuss other options that you and your therapist can come up with once the therapist knows more details about how this situation developed and still continues.
