<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

Not sure if this is the best subreddit to post to or if someone could recommend a more accurate subreddit. Anyway to give some background my girlfriend and I have been together for a year. The topic of potentially having to assist her mother has come up before in thinking about what's ahead for us. Her mother was diagnosed years ago with schizophrenia and I like most people really didn't know a lot about it and mistakenly thought it was multiple personality disorder. Now her mother 99% of the time is perfectly fine she works and supports herself but I guess she can have episodes triggered by stress. My girlfriend recently found out her mother had quit her job due to stress and now my girlfriend is worried about what are we going to do in the future. Her mom is fine for now and is fairly calm so we both think she'll be okay but are keeping an eye on her.

As the possibility of marriage seems very plausible as things between us are doing great I was curious if people knew about tax breaks for people taking care of someone with a mental illness? I ask as I know her mom was in a Federal Care home (not mental institute) and my girlfriend feels they are really inadequate. Her mother is a fantastic person and I would help regardless of tax incentives but as neither of us is rich every bit does help. We both live in Canada and are Canadian citizens as is her mother. 

If someone could recommend a subreddit for further info it would help too.
