Thanks @Former-Member, I think family Psychoeducation is good. My siblings and I really need too reduce our expressed emotion! It's so hard to put into practice even when one is informed..... When the buttons get pushed.... Sonething inside just lets the emotions out!

Thanks @outlander,

So many good suggestions, but don't even know where to start though... Feeling very lethargic and wornout. Hard to conjure up the energy to do anything ....am I beyond repair...? Feeling like a soldier who is too tired to fight

It’s really important as carers that we balance our own welfare along with those we are caring for. This article explains a bit about “carer’s burnout”, which we are all prone to.
