When your parent moves in
Families here stay close, often in the same house: a grandmother in the back bedroom, teenagers in the front, and a daughter or son in the middle who works a full shift, drives to appointments at the hospitals on Lomas, manages the medications and translates the paperwork. In New Mexico the question of who will care for Mom was settled long ago, usually in favor of whichever child lives closest, and the brothers and sisters in Denver or Phoenix send love and not much else. The house is loud and there is never a room to be alone in. The long drives across the metro, the winter mornings and the summer monsoon afternoons all happen with someone else's needs in the passenger seat, and the caregiver is the last person anybody checks on.
How peer support helps near Albuquerque
A peer group is one hour where someone finally asks how you are doing instead of how your mother is. You join from a parked car in the driveway or a bedroom with the door shut, and the other members are managing the same tangle of love, duty and exhaustion.
