Caregiver burnout is not silent—it is ignored. Parents raising children with severe to profound disabilities are screaming for help, yet the world looks away. We are suffocating under medical needs, sleepless nights, and decades of caregiving without breaks or support. Unlike those who care for elderly parents temporarily, this is a lifelong commitment that begins in our twenties or thirties and never ends. And disability can happen to anyone, at any time. Until society chooses to listen and act, families like mine will continue to fracture under impossible expectations.

Doctor’s see my son. but they don’t see him. They dismiss his symptoms, cover them with prescriptions, and call it care. My plea is simple: he deserves more than survivival - he deserves his life back.

Caregiving doesn’t end when you leave the hospital. For parents of adults with severe disabilities, the pressure only grows at home. From constant medical monitoring to the daily tasks of bathing, feeding, and lifting a full grownadult, the weight id relentless. the hidden cost of care is not only emotional but also physical - stress, fear, and even PTSD become part of daily life. Caregivers give everything, yet often carry the load unseen and unsupported.
