I totally understand why your frustrated

We aren't obligated to help other people, even though it can feel that way especially when they are family. It's too bad that even though you are willing to help, it's still not good enough, that has to be incredibly frustrating for you. You are very kind for wanting to help out your mum.... But you gotta keep an identity of your own too. You have permission to do that...

The stress and exhaustion from being a caregiver is real. When it's a family member I feel it can be particularly depressing because of all of the emotional ties.

Is there any other family member you can reach out to for help? What would your mom do in the case that you had to work?

Not what you're looking for?
