One of the hardest things to figure out as I enter this journey is to know how to balance what I need with what my mother needs. These things often conflict. I am often asking myself questions such as:
Am I being too selfish?
Where is it okay to draw the line?
How much of my own life am I expected to sacrifice?
What is reasonable for others to expect of me?
I found this Caregiver's Bill of Rights written by a mental health professional which helps to answer those questions. It is reassuring to know that others have thought about this a lot and have come to some sort of consensus!
