Are you feeling overwhelmed at the thought of having to raise a child after you have already raised your own children? Are you angry because you feel that you are tied down, and the parents of the child(ren) you are caring for, are having the time of their lives? Are you frustrated at the lack of support and understanding from others? If so, it is time that you take time out for yourself, to help decrease your level of stress. Attending support groups specifically for kinship caregivers, and taking advantage of opportunities for respite will provide you with that much needed support system and break from the child(ren) you are caring for.
