Sometimes we feel like we just can't escape! We are bound by a situation that has trapped us and we are off balance.
Ever been there?
Caregiving can give you that sensation and make you feel like there is no way out. Life gets complicated and sticky. The grip gets tighter.
What can we do to help ourselves? Sometimes just relaxing and taking inventory helps. At times, recognizing our captor is the key. (If it is your older brother, then you have to cry "uncle" until he lets go.) But, getting a clear picture and seeing the options will make a difference. Asking for help from someone often makes it better. (And, if "uncle" doesn't work, scream for Mom).
Today, I am praying that God will give you the key to your situation and help you relax. Take care of yourself. You are important and it is YOU who will provide your loved one with the environment they need to thrive.
