Hi! I must say that is very difficult to be caregiver, especially when you didn’t have good relation with care recipient. I am caregiver to my father. He leaved me when I was 7 years old. I can't realize if we caregivers have anything from it? I am losing my mind. It is very hard for me to forgive him. Is there someone how talk with me.

Hi! Maybe this is way for you to improve relations with the care recipient, with your father. Caregiver could feel enhanced sense of self-worth. But, if you don’t forgive him you can’t feel benefits of caregiving. If you have bad feelings, maybe you aren’t best person for caregiver’s role. You should think about that. Good lack!
