Default Mom and caregiver

I am Mom and Caregiver in my home, not really sure which one comes first anymore. My 16 year old daughter has been sick for over 6 months now and has yet to be diagnosed, she needs help with most everything as her pain and balance is so bad. I also have 10 year old who would like some of Mommy's time, no matter who I am with I feel bad that I should be with the other. I was used to caring for others as I was a home health care worker until this all happened, but wow totally different when its at home with one of your loved ones. My husband tries to help but he works long hours to try and keep up with bills since we lost my income. Not to mention my 16 year old isn't comfortable with Dad helping her to bathroom and stuff. And when I have time with my 10 year old and we are playing a game or talking I find my self so tired that I begin to space off or doze off. Its crazy ! I keep telling myself that I can do this. But can I ?
