Hi there! New here.

Hello, I just found this site, I am so glad. I have had one of the worst years of my life. I lost my mom December 2017, I had a major heart attack in Oct. 2018 and a week later my brother had a major heart attack and passed.
All the while I am trying to take care of my dad because my mom did everything for him, they were together 50 years, and he's scared to be alone. I have another brother and a sister that both live in the same city as my dad, and I live an hour from my dad. So of course in the beginning my brother and his family moved in with him, I was coming a few nights a week too, then my brother moved back to their house in the same city, because their daughters had to start school. And the have slowly stopped coming over at all, so my sister comes and she stays part time and I stay part time. Then she moved in with her boyfriend and has stopped staying with my dad at all and rarely comes over. So now I'm the only one staying with him, I clean his house, wash and iron his clothes, and cook for him. I spend more time at his house than my own. I live an hour from my dad and I have a fiancee, and a home, a dog, a life. I'm not in great mental or physical health, I have been missing important appointments, I am trying to take care of two houses with no help. I have started becoming so overwhelmed with everything I feel like going somewhere no one can find me and hiding just to get some peace. I don't get to do anything for myself. I'm tired all of the time, my fiancee and I barely have a relationship going anymore. Luckily he understands but for how long I don't know. I just really need somewhere I can talk and find support from others. So that's my story in a nutshell.
