40 years ago and everyone told me I had to be strong for my Mom. Good Lord! I was all of 17...I could not be strong for myself let alone my Mom. So, yes I know how you feel. I made a promise that I would NEVER tell anyone that they had to be strong for someone else. That is dismissing your grief...at least that is how I took it...and I have never forgotten it. I don't think you would be out of bounds telling them that you are having trouble being strong for yourself. People will not learn any other way. You do not need to be rude about it; just matter of fact. I hope things get better and YOU get support.
