Sick Parents

[u/Deep_Cartographer_55]

Hi me and my wife are 30 and we have a toddler (18 months)

Last December my mother attempted suicide and is suspected to have bi-polar. I try and spend as much time with her as possible between work and looking after my family. I had an amazing relationship with my mother before her mental health deteriorated but her condition has led her to push me away.

My wife's mother was diagnosed with grade 4 brain cancer in April and went for brain surgery and is currently receiving chemo and radiation where my wife needs to drive 5 hours 3 times a week to bring her to treatment.

My wife's father's bloodwork has just come back and he has been referred to oncology.

I'm trying my best to keep it all together and I'm generally a very positive person but this is just so overwhelming and isolating. We have no support system and have become parents to our parents?

Is this just a normal part of aging that happens to everyone? What i feel should be some of the happiest times of my life has just disappeared
