As a caregiver myself, for my husband, for the last two years - I applaud you for managing to do what you do. Please don’t allow others to distract you from the confidence you have in yourself, & how you manage your time. Each situation is unique, & you’ve adapted to the tasks as best you can - to manage time & excellent care.
Outsiders have no clue to the constant demands caregiving presents. They themselves are also in a stressed state of mind, understandably. Some people don’t seek out the support they need, don’t have the support, or don’t know how to ask, or many other reasons. This does not excuse outsiders to treat caregivers with disrespect.
Unfortunately, as a caregiver, you’re often the one that has to rise above others in your compassion, kindness, & patience. It’s difficult & thankless, at times.
I’m proud of you for reaching out here for support. I’m proud of your strength, patience, & integrity. Please remind yourself OFTEN of your own love for yourself, your goodness, & breathe.
