I’m the only caregiver for my aging parent. I have one brother that does not help. How can I cope? I am with our mom daily. I moved back home during a divorce and it turned into a caregiver role now. It’s 24/7. No breaks. It’s leading me to feel more depressed and anxious.

    Find an elder care attorney and know the finances.  You need to look into what is an option for you physically and financially along with your parent.  Being a full time care giver is not for everyone and it's a huge drain on the person who may be with a parent with a lot of issues.  Seek those options rather than the brother who is making it clear what he's ok doing.

    Yes and therapy. And talk to a social worker about respite care.
