The Dark Side of being a Caretaker

I will not dwell on this too much but there doesn't seem to be much "out there" about this.

I dislike being my Mom's caretaker as in dot, period, end of report. I do not do this out of love but out of duty, which is a much harder task master than love.

And I AM tired of people with the standard platitudes babbling on and on. How much you will be glad you did this later on...Later on, I do not plan on thinking or dwelling on the years sucked out of my life. It is bad enough living it.

I do know attitude is a choice and my choice at this moment is one of resentment and fear. Fear I won't have the energy to do the things I still want to do.
