Elderly ParentsI am a single female who is responsible for the management of care for my parents. My mother has Alzheimers. My dad has COPD, and is cognitively deficient and depressed. They are in a nice facility. After 70 years they have been placed in separate locations in the same facility. They keep asking me to move them out so they could be together. I have no family support. My sole sibling has Bi-polar Disorder and lives 1800 miles away. She has washed her hands. She can barely function at times. I'm getting so stressed that I find myself withdrawing from people. I'm on 3 Wellbutrin and try to exercise, but I'm emotionally overeating. I need help.
