Just need to vent.......
 Ok soooo. I have been taking care of my hubbys aunt who is 82 years old and bed ridden ... now mind you their is 10 there family members that live in her area and I live 5 hours away so I drive it , I do it because I love her and it is the right thing to do... well I am worn out and tired and the rest of the family has not lifted a finger! So being tired and at the breaking point I blew up at her brother my hubbys uncle.... told him that this is not going to keep going on I need help! and if he and his wife did not start to help along with the others I was going to have to hire a full time nurse or worse move her in with me................ I swear this man was like duhhhhhh I dont know what to doooooo duuhhhhhh gorge what way did they go what way did they go.......... I swear that was the look on his face Oh geees! 
how and why I am so worn out and it is the weekend I was going to have a whole weekend to get things ready for my hubbys return home on the first from Afganistan but nooooooo house is a mess and I have to get up at 5 am to leave to drive back after I just drove home today just because no one can stay with her and the nurse that is their has to leave by 11 am ..........I am going to go nuts! Well Good night all... Thank you for letting me vent,  needed to just get it all out.

I dont know what to tell you except that you are a beautiful person who will earn her place in heaven. You cant make others feel the same responsibility that you do toward this woman. Ask for help or hire it out.  Just do what you need to do so you can look at yourself in the mirror.

Best wishes to you,
Dani
