I don't blame you.......

Wow. You are so young to have such a burden. Either your in-laws had their son late in life or they just had serious illnesses at a young age.

I commend you for your sense of responsibilty. Most people would have already checked mother-in-law into an assisted living home. Is she able to get outside....walk around? If so, I would check into retired "day care" centers. They do have them...I know we have them here in my state of Mississippi. If she would just mingle with people her own age, it would help her and give you a break, too.

The way you live won't be forever. You say most of the eldercare falls on you. Your husband has a fulltime job? I sincerely hope he appreciates all you do.

DO you guys ever have a "date night?" If you don't, make one!
