Am I the real problem?
Am I the problem? Ever since I was a teenager I’ve been “placed“ in a caregiver position. Im talking family and friends would stop by my house and just drop their kids off for whatever reasons; as I’ve gotten older I’ve still been in placed in this role such as caring for different people. Within the last 3 years I’ve had to be a primary caregiver to an aging family member at first it was just a here and there type thing because they could care for themselves then they had some medical issues that came up. So I then had to provide care for them for almost 10 hours daily during the week. There’s other family members that could help but “they can’t“ for what I think is bullshit excuses. I don’t get much if any money for this. So I asked about what I was supposed to do for any type of money multiple people have made comments about me getting a job of an evening but still being able to care for the relative(s) any time needed. I recently was made aware of a group chat with everyone but me in it to which everyone was like she doesn’t want to work. I don’t think it’s that much to ask for a little money since they don’t want to put this relative into an assisted living facility. So I guess am I problem?
