Like Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, addiction and alcoholism can overtake a person. How does a caregiver respond to an abusive addict or alcoholic who has been overtaken by their disease?

What is "normal?"
As caregivers, we discover that we have to make our own normal ...and trust that we can have meaningful moments and even joy in that "normal of our own making,."
This caller and I discussed this in this clip from the show.
In addition, as she struggled with figuring out how to care for her aging father, I pointed her to this service that Gracie and I use. We can often use technology offload some (not all!) of the monitoring components of our caregiving responsibilites.

As a caregiver, have you ever begged God to "deliver" you from the challenges?
God's own people did this when the lived in Babylon while in exile. They lamented and wanted to return to their home. To get back to "normal."
