Firstly, try not to feel guilty, though that is easier said than done. Caregivers DO need time off to avoid caregiver burnout. Your mother’s jealousy is probably because she is feeling left out and is thinking about the things she can no longer do. Try to talk to her about her jealous behavior or statements and perhaps, find an activity that you two can do alone. In the future, if you have to go away again, just remember to be clear about what you are doing or where you are going. If you are still having trouble with feeling guilty, find some support, whether from a counselor or a caregiver support group.
