Thank you, Laura.  Something I've been noticing lately is a willingness for a few people to be vocal about things like this, and then other people facing the same problem speak up.  

My mother died two years ago after four years of debilitating illnesses.  My dad was her 24/7 caretaker, which really took a toll on him and aged him considerably.  Recently I read an article about a man with the same responsibility for his dad, and he had to juggle a full-time job with being a full-time caregiver, because there was no other family member to help him.  Once at a business meeting someone asked how he was, and rather than giving the normal "I'm fine", he said "I'm exhausted" and explained why.  Several people in the group spoke up because they were in the same difficult situation with a family member.

To be the constant caregiver for someone of any age who basically can't take care of themselves is draining, and that's compounded when there seems to be no one you can share with honestly about it.  Feeling that way about your own baby is truly looked down on, so a woman suffers alone.  I appreciate other women joining me in voicing this truth.
