Summary
Teens and young adults forced into caregiving roles for elderly relatives with incontinence face extreme emotional and physical strain with no professional support. They are left to handle hazardous waste (feces and urine) unsafely, often lacking knowledge of proper cleaning and disinfection procedures. This leads to health risks, resentment, and mental health deterioration, yet no accessible resources exist to teach them how to manage incontinence messes safely or provide affordable cleaning supplies.
