I think it really is time for outside help to be brought on board because caregiving does all get demanded from one person and can turn monopolising and even abusive.
Maybe consider a caregiver support group even if you don’t continue at this level because caregiver burnout is a different beast. I never had any support or training but having either might have helped me look out for myself and recover better.

Oh please don’t be sorry. You have been so very helpful.
I think the urge to fix it for me just needed a reality check. I think I’ve come to terms that the best I can do is slow cognitive decline and not let the little things get in the way of that. I can’t roll this ball back up the hill but I can slow it which you have extremely helpful with.
