I am disabled taking care of my 96 year old self-centered parents. I am stressed out and my anger is getting out of control. Please help!

my parents are from Europe as well, and at times they don't seem to hear what i am saying it frustrates me and i yell but I'm finding this only makes me feel worst. i have a brother interstate that helps nothing, in Europe parents just expect kids to look out for them, thus the self -centered manner, unfortunately it usually fall on the most selfless child, and they intern carry the loan with little to no help from the rest, who in there mind feel free because, well they are being looked after by you, this unfortunately helps you nothing and only builds resentment. the only way i am finding is to think as less about the situation, and just do what needs to be done. stress is a storm that blows in, and at times can be unbearable and then just blows out. usually after a sleep or a good word heard or spoken, this is a great site for just such words. For you to be doing this, means you have a loving heart, and when you stand back and look, that's why we do what we do, because we care and give, making us caregivers. but if the stress get to bad go talk to your doctor, and see if he can help just little and keep reading this site. God Love you and Bless you and keep you strong always

Pumpy i can fully sympathise with you, my mother drives me to despair with her selfish , self centred attitude, she has dementia or alzheimers but is in full denial.
