I get paid by the state to care for my Mother who was diagnosed with early onset Dementia five or so years ago.?

Question

She moved in and I was working third shift at Walmart, I kept it secret for the most part (Managers knew).
I was like basically getting 3 hours of sleep for 2 years.
Then the state said She cause get help.
They offered a ton, but only while I was away and she was awake rest of the time.
I was offered higher paying positions but had to turn then all down.

My question is so BROKEN.

What will Biden or Trump do for Caregivers.
Under Trump I still get paid.
I will NEVER let her go into a home, and if Biden cuts my paycheck, will he understand my self inflicted death?????
Or show I say Harris, which she don't care ****.

My Mother brought me here, she took care and so shall I.
Take ALL Mine, You **** with my Mother, It's Serious!!!

You have millions of us as company. We all come from cultures that took on their elders, put them up at the top of the stairs (easy to keep track of) or the room closest to the door (unnecessary to keep track of) and just carried on. Sometimes as if infants had come to stay. But our culture, as commonly, doesn't do that now. I spent 10  years caring for my parents, who I'd never had a close relationship with, so that they didn't die alone and feeling unloved. No recompense, financially, for that. None that I found. I don't think it's written into the contract. My question for you is why do you think this is an issue for President Of the United States?

"Seedy History". When you are the only of 3 boys she gave birth to who are willing to wash her?
I don't understand WHY?

It's nice that you can do that. Physically, not everyone is able. My mom and dad were in early sixties and seventies when my grandmother became senile. Looing after her was compromising their own health. There was no telling when she'd be awake and what she'd be trying to do. She was in the only downstairs bedroom, next to a bathroom, and couldn't find her way to it. She once tried to fix food and go for a picnic - at 2 in the morning. It was pitch black out.

I can't imagine, (and do not want) a politician micro-managing my life.

as a rule , the government gives you a pension , but the dont have to , its a political promise only , they give the carer some money only if you dont work , which is fair enough , your lucky you have a goverment who pays carers , some countries they get nothing ..governments really dont worry about you anyway , as long as the get a pay check ..

The programs that pay familial caretakers are state related and have nothing to do with who's President. It's your State Legislature you should be reaching out to to encourage the passage of this type of program.

If anything you have it backwards. Its trump who has been and will keep cutting aid...You need to start researching things before you go and vote for the wrong man.
