is it wrong?

Is it wrong to hate caring for my father? I like cooking for him, and sharing a laugh, but the rest is so emotionally and spiritually painful. Most days I don’t want to come home after work, and I can’t wait to leave and be away again. Sometimes I feel like a piece of shit, sometimes I wonder why this is my job and not my sister’s job instead. Sometimes I’m angry at my dad, other times it’s just pity. I just turned 24. I haven’t even been doing this that long, a little under two years. I’m emotionally and financially supporting my mom, and doing damn near everything for dad. I wish I could wake up in a different reality. I’m coping fine 99% of the time, but pretty numb. Does it get better?
