My Dad is 90 and l am 60 and l am part of the sandwich generation, inbetween my own father and then my own children. Since my mother passed on in 2007 l have been visiting my father intensively, in later years now in the nursing and l am just so tired of it. I get all the family news, from him whether l want to hear it or not. He tells me all about his money and different charities he gives to. I have been under alot of strain for many years and unlike me my father is in excellent mental health and l have not been. Have 2 siblings but they are real copers and there is no chance of gently drifting apart whilst my father is still with us. There is always some big family occasion on around my father and in the last while l feel anxious going to them.
Just wondering had anyone a difficult elder care situation going on and any tips for coping with it l would appreciate. Just feel so tired of all the visiting, the same conversations etc.
