I think that taking care of a ill parent is one of the most noble things you can do. But it is also one of the hardest things you can do. It is so hard to remember that your life still has to go on. I think that between your mom and your son, you have been giving so much of yourself that there isn't much left for you. It's a fine line to walk, but I think you are right, you have to do more for yourself, and your mom will be ok. I'm thinking about whether there are any options to get you a little help, maybe without costing anything, or much. just to pick up a little of what you do. I can understand that she doesn't like being alone, but somehow that can't mean that you have to stay home all the time. You are right, start standing up for yourself!
