I care give for my partner who has Huntington's Disease. I feel as though I am losing myself and who I am. I do nothing but care for him. He is able to walk and get around but has had numerous falls and broken bones etc. I told him I wanted to get somebody in the home to relieve me once in a while but he is insistent on not letting anyone come to the house. I am so depressed and I long for my family and friends. How do I get him to understand this is important to me?
I understand that about 30 % of caregivers die before the one being cared for.
