Make out a calendar, several months out. List the days you are available, list the open dates that help is required. Send it to your relatives and give them a deadline to fill in their spots and get back to you. Or...continue to be the only caretaker. Timothy is right as well, enlist the support of your pastor or neutral person. Blessings to you. Ellen….you are the only caretaker because you ALLOW yourself to be.
