I am saving my family from having to take care of me.
I feel the same.I am the only one here that takes care of everyone and all the animals,as well as the property/So if something happen to me,it would be a real mess.Hubby and I been together 20 yrs now.He had a cognitive disorder 4 yrs ago and had to put him in a facility for 7 weeks.So I don't think he could live on his own with out help.As he has macular degeneration and is on dementia/altizmers med.He does everything himself,but I do his meds because he can't see them well enough to tell them apart.So that's why I do so much.I still make him mow the yard tho.Because I can't.I do the trees and fix things.Keeps me busy!
