I know of a lady that has taken care of her CP dtr for over 25 yrs...including tube feedings and cathing her dtr several times a day.....people that have children without disabilities can never imagine the angst and heartbreak let alone the sheer mental,physical and emotional exhaustion.

I cared for my mother when she succumbed to Alzheimer's. Seeing her look into my eyes and not know who I was was heartbreaking. I changed my elderly bed ridden and dying fathers diapers. You need patience. And love. Lots of love.

My mother-in-law, God bless her, did the same for her son for nearly 40 years. I always tell my wife that her mom is one o the toughest and most loving people I have ever met.

Mother in law still hates me, but I think only God will change that. ;)
