Been staying with my parents taking care of them. Mum had a masectomy and needs help around the house. Dad is slowly fading as his cancer takes his energy and appetite away. Neighbours and friends have brought food which has helped, but I'm burning out. It hurts to see my loved ones in such pain.

I'm honestly happy I can be here for them, but I miss my home, my cat, my wife. I miss the comfort of my schedule. I have to look after my anxious brother too and he can't do a lot of things for himself. It's a lot to deal with, outside of my own personal feelings. Seeing my parents emaciated and ill... it's horrible.
