“Caregiving definitely makes us tougher and grow thicker skin. We constantly go through so many different and unexpected situations, balancing on an emotional roller coaster every single day. Over time, we get less upset about many things and control better our actions and reactions. Sometimes, we lash out when we feel angry, depleted, and controlless, but it’s not truly a relief. It often leaves us feeling worse than before. As caregiving is a constant learning experience, learning to manage negative feelings like caregiver anger and resentment is also part of the role.”
