Anon,

Please do yourself a favour. Being a caregiver is so incredibly stressful, and even though you have the support of other family members, they're not going to understand how wearing it is to be the number one caregiver. So set up a schedule where other family members come in on a regular basis and give you a break.

Or investigate adult daycare for your mom, where she is taken out for activities while you have time to yourself. It sounds terrible to some, but knowing that she is safe and under someone else's care while you take care of your own life can give you the long-term stamina to continue caring for your mother as long as you need.

Good luck.

This is so very right. I can just imagine friends and family saying admiringly "I don't know how she does it...she's a saint...she's just so strong...I could never do what she does" ... while leaving her to do it all alone.
