I am single, with no siblings, and I am overwhelmed at times by caretaking duties for my father, who has dementia and has begun a decline in recent months. I have tried support groups but have found mostly married/partnered couples. I'm not minimizing the burdens they face, which are horrible regardless. However, when you're single, you don't have that second person to turn to. You're alone. What I am looking for is anyone in the same boat.🙏
