And also for just doing what you do. You should feel very proud and you should also give yourself credit for stepping up when others might not have done.

They come so naturally! :-) There are many men who are fantastic caregivers but it does seem the actual day-to-day role traditionally goes to the woman in the family. We all have our roles and our strengths and this is what works for my family. Acceptance of that was the proverbial light bulb going off for me.

Even more than achievement, this book is about you owning and claiming yourself and your family. <br /><br />As for women being the caregivers when available--you are so right! My husband watches his sister carry the burden for their mother, and although he feels somewhat ashamed, he understands that their roles have always been different in the family. We are but small supports to her huge job.<br /><br />Congratulations!! Now--do we have to work on stopping these disclaimers???

I have difficulty with the idea of being a caregiver - I think I'm so co-dependent that I would lose myself in the role and have nothing left for me. I have been a care-giver at times but never for a long stretch.

You've already transcended that goal - you are obviously destined to inspire many, many people. <br /><br />You are not only being a Caregiver to the ones you love but nurturing a whole population to value Caregivers and potentially step up to the role, and all with humor, humanity and self deprecation. <br /><br />A true inspiration!
