I am new to this group and hoping to find helpful information and ongoing support. I have been a caregiver/caretaker to my father since I was 17 yrs old. A couple of years ago, he was diagnosed with vascular dementia and his physical health has become more challenging. I am now 53 yrs old, no partner and no children. In recent years, I have learned how tiring and angry I have become because, over the years; my father has made unwise health choices and depended on myself to take care of him. I would love to hear other personal stories on how anyone else, who may be living in a similar situation, has made changes to focus on self-care and a better quality of life, despite the daily challenges.
