Sorry, Brenda.. you've certainly been care-taking for a lengthy period and it just doesn't seem fair that you should be the Poster-girl for {..the French always have the Best sayings}
Let no good deed go unpunished. We're each fragmented, here in the dis-USA; our local scene we often take to be representative of the entire discordant mess.
In a few oases of quietude, there must be many who have no idea why strife permeates (whatever today's meeja happens to photo-op in livid-HD.) You know the drill.
Cheer up! things will soon get better! ... nahhh, you've been lied-to enough already, right?
You're already engaged in one of the better escapes from the boring awfulness of the epidemic of hate-speech. Family chores might seem more like an obligation, often?/no choice, and like that, but it's still about 'rescuing' in some form. Makes endorphins in the jelloware sometimes, no?
Your routine may be all you get for a while, as nobody can guess what next craziness will emanate from the new crop of dysfunctionals, in DC and elsewhere. (I tend to focus on older abandoned cats/nobody wants them.. vet bills, maybe not a long life ahead: so just when you come to appreciate one? well, you know..)
Still, for that one: it's life/death and such an event erases the whole festering madness.. for many days, sometimes.
Cheaper than a shrink, and you're already doing your own version. That seems to make you smarter than a few millions, doesn't it? It always helps to just tune-out the comm'l car-crash meeja too; it's important not to get sucked-in to the endless verbiage from so many new techno-sources, I wot.
Luck.
