My parent had their oesophagus removed last week. Theyd had chemo, and this was the next step. I'm really struggling with the negativity of my other pareny, and their request for me to care for their spouse - I work full time, have 3 children, feel overwhelmed already and frankly don't think I can nurse.

I'm not strong enough to lift my parent having back issues myself, and have a very responsibilie job also so can't drop everything to go to hospital . 

I'm happy to help - company, preparing food, but feel very judged. How do I get past this so we can enjoy time together?
