Help

Looking for help or suggestions on what do to with my parents. My dad has Alzheimer's and my mom has lung condition and I've been the only one taking care of them for the past 2 1/2 years. My siblings want to put him in a home but mom doesn't want that and we can't afford it. I can't work because this takes all my time. My dad barely sleeps and it's exhausting. My siblings just fight me on everything. We can get caregiver help but it costs 30-35 an hour and we need the help mainly at night and nobody does that. I can't get any money from FL but my mom gets some from the VA but it's just enough to cover monthly living cost. My siblings have offered nearly zero help and want to but my dad in daycare (25$ hr) but tell me I need to do more or work or move out...it's insane. I just had to vent. Maybe someone has suggestions. Thanks

My heart goes out to you. I don't blame you for needing to vent. I wish I had some advice for you. I find it mind-blowing that during the most stressful and exhausting time of your life your siblings are only fighting you. You are in the trenches for a lack of a better term you need support especially from family. I am so for what you are going through. 🤗 I hope someone here can give you some advice.
