That's pretty much how I feel. It only just hit me this last visit
with my Mom. She is only 54 and doing extremely poorly in the getting
around dept. Nothing I can do to help. It sucks

getting older
My father died two years ago and now my mother lives alone.
She is 73. As
her only son, I feel that taking care of her, the house,
yard, etc. is my
responsibility.Of course, I can do none of it. It makes
me so angry and
depressed that I could scream.
