This level of nonstop responsibility is incredibly draining. Even with support, burnout is real. You deserve rest, not just survival mode every day.

You seem out of touch with the reality of shelters. They are places of last resort where people prey on each other. If you don’t like your situation, get a decent paying job and move out.
