Maggie DePuye commented on Tracey's blog post Caregiver"As a caregiver myself, I can attest that it is challenging wearing multiple hats, which can lead to confusion, frustration, anger, depression, and ultimately, an emotional shutdown. It is important not only for the TBI Thriver to have outside…"
Pablo commented on Tracey's blog post Caregiver"we wear our caregivers out, we are so hard on people, its tough i wish i new the answer too"
Tracey commented on Tracey's blog post Caregiver"It's not a paid caregiver, it's my husband. This is ruining my marriage, but we can't divorce because I could not care for my daughter by myself and I can not work. This sucks!!"
Kaycee Holdrigdge commented on Tracey's blog post Caregiver"if its a paid caregiver get a different one, but if their paid and professional they wont get emotionaly attached, their are those types but their care can be good.. if its family it gets more complex
"
Tracey posted a blog postCaregiver
My caregiver is good with the cooking, laundry, physical care stuff, but NO emotional support. It's awful and makes my recovery so much moreifficult. Have googles this topic, but can find nothing about "bad" caregivers. Anyone have this problem? Don't know how to change it. Tried opwnly and nicely communicating about it, but he says nothing ir gets defensive, annoyed, and angry. Help.
