Re: Who has mental illness and is also a carer

I am a full-time carer for a disabled adult daughter, but my husbands "hidden" mi has caused me to become a carer for our whole family dynamic .... in a roller coaster here, but the loops have been getting progressively smaller for the last year or so .... but as one seems to improve, another one goes down .... sigh ...

Gotta just keep swimming .... 🐠🐠🐠
