Caring for Elderly, Acknowledge Burnout

I don't do sadness or burnout well. My MO is to ignore or displace. It scares me. So I don't let myself experience it and move on. Our oldest daughter flew up from Louisiana for a our youngest daughter's 16th birthday. Our oldest son came in from Detroit with his girlfriend. It was his b-day too, but he came to see his sister. And my husband and I had to take care of elderly mother in law. We got burned out. My advice to couples caring for a difficult relative is to stay connected. Don't let your caregiving overwhelm you.
