That's really hard. I think you'll be a better care giver if you do a little self care. I know that when I'm taking care of my kids (who don't have special needs but still require a lot of me) a little time away really helps me to be more patient and caring with them once I'm back. I think it's important to voice to your family that you need a break while still making sure they know that you are honored to take care of your mother.
