Aging & Older adults Family Caregivers Kathy’s Message Atlanta, GA

 It’s a lot as, as a daughter to kinda give orders rather than receive them, ’cause it’s still your mom, and, you know, it’s mentally challenging, more than I ever could’ve imagined. Um, every day I’m reminding myself that she took care of you.

So stop complaining and, you know, just do it, ’cause I’m sure she… You know, I have no social life, and I’m sure she had no social life with you, ’cause my mom had me when she was 15. So I’m always going back to that to remind myself as to why I’m doing this. Um, but I do struggle with is this the best, you know, like, am I doing the best I can do?

Should I have professionals doing this?
