No you are definitely not selfish. It takes some doing to get used to caring for another person and learning to get along alone. Many of us on here feel as if we live alone in the same house as our sick person, something we never envisaged and although I never get used to it I am less troubled by it than before. I do absolutely everything, he doesn’t begin to understand his difficulties and he sits there issuing orders which drives me mad. But he can’t help it and I have to keep telling myself that. Talking Point is a great support especially when you have a bad day. Somehow knowing that other people understand and have first hand experience helps as well as all the advice for coping with the problems. Keep posting!I am left doing everything on my own. Am I selfish?
So sorry to hear this. I am glad you are now get in some help
My husband is now in his 2nd week in a nursing home, and i am finding it heartbreaking that he is “doing his best to like it”. Sometimes just a little knowledge in the person is worse than total oblivion. X
