When caregiving reveals different values in a marriage

My mother-in-law moved in with us six months ago after her stroke and my husband and I have completely different ideas about boundaries and care and we're both exhausted but we keep snapping at each other instead of figuring out what we actually need. I love her but I'm losing myself and I think he's losing himself too, just differently.

More people experience this than they realize.
