Hopeful1, I worked in the caregiving field dealing primarily with Alzhiemer. It is really tough no matter what the cause to have only one wage earner, especially when you are also the primary caregiver of a loved one. I am new in Texas but there are two sites that may be able to point you to some resources. "The Visiting Nurse Association of Texas" can sometimes provide extra help through community funding. Also, perhaps the "National Family Caregiver Association" can give you some feedback, resources, and a word or two from someone in your similar situation. Is there any recourse financially with Social Security --especially if you have children under the age of 18? I don't know if any of this helps, and perhaps you have thought of all this already. It is a difficult situation and my heart goes out to you.
