Sometimes you just read a passage in which a person just gets it! Here is one (from caregiver support on Reddit):
"And unless you’ve lived with it under your own roof, it’s hard to explain the psychological toll. There’s no true off-switch. Your body stays semi-alert all the time. Even when nothing dramatic is happening, part of your brain is still monitoring the environment, waiting for the next need, accident, confusion, or escalation. Seeing a loved one decline from a distance is not the same as having your home, sleep, routines, marriage, and nervous system reshaped around it every day."
