Guilt

My mum suffers from strokes & my sister is her main carer as I work full time.
How does everyone deal with the guilt of having a recently disabled parent especially one you wasn’t particularly close to?
My mum can be quite blunt to the people closest to her (I think it’s the strokes) she has no emotion anymore, likes to guilt trip but then I see the persona she has in public when I take her out, it’s difficult for me to understand.

Just wondering how other carers cope with this as every day is becoming emotionally draining.
