How did you cope with caregiving?
Female Speaker: I did something I can't believe I did it, and it's before I went for professional help. Well, I sort of went for professional help, but I gathered two to three women that I knew they were going through the same thing. We met with each other and my goodness we all had the same complaints. Nothing we do is right, we don't know what to do next, we feel so badly.
So then I hired a psychotherapist to talk to the four of us. And the thing is we all had the same problems of just feeling so out of control of everything. He talked to us and he told us kind of what I've just said, it's not your fault, you can't do anything about it. I mean you can do but you got to get them professional help. To help them get through it because it is -- I don't know what's called a physical thing but they need medication and talk therapy and let somebody else do it, because you aren't prepared to do it.
It's not what they said, but get some help and it has nothing to do with you. That's a big thing to get over, and I think that's why couples divorce because they don't understand what's going on and somebody has to explain it. I suppose you could find it in a book if you knew how, but, best to just get somebody who talk to you.
