Caregivers do deserve better

I too am an exhausted caregiver. I have given 25 years to my 25 year old severly handicapped son. He doesn't walk, or talk, eat or do anything for himself. I do it all. My husband and I divorced after 23 years and he does not provide any help whatsoever, suppose to be paying me alimony but has refused to do that, I am all alone, except for my 70 yr old mom that tries to help when she can. I have no friends and no contacts other than doctors and such and all I do 24/7 is take care of him. I am only 46 and my life seems to be over. Its a hard road but I can't live without him now, he is my everything. thanks for listening
