Hello, I am new to this site. I'm 28 years old and I have been caring for my grandfather since I was 18. I am a single mom of 2 children, they are 11 and 9. Keeping everything together is sometimes overwhelming. My family doesn't understand what I go through on a daily basis. They think I'm super woman. But sometimes I do need help and just someone to talk to. Yes I'm strong but I'm also human. I have no one to talk to. No one understands. So I keep a smile on my face and pretend that I'm ok. I cry at night when everyone is asleep. I cry because no matter how hard I work to take care of my grandfather and my kids, there are just some things that are out of my control. There is so much going on right now I just don't know where to turn or what to do. At this point all I can do is pray that things get better. My grandfather is in the hospital, he's going to be ok. But I can't stay here with him for as long as I would like because I have to get my kids after school. None of my family members will help out, and as much as it hurts me to leave him here alone, I have to. The house we live in is falling apart, my landlord isn't taking the proper steps to fix certain issues so I'm trying to find a new place to live in. I just graduated from barber school last month and I am super proud of myself, but with everything going on I haven't started working yet. There's no way I can right now. So yes, I am very overwhelmed....
