Mum has been in care for almost 4yrs. The carers say she's fine, but as soon as she sees me, the relief on her face that I've come to take her home.
As she's gone further downhill, the destination has changed.It used to be home to her house, then my house & now it's that she has to go because her mum said
I've tried all the usual..........'til you're better, Council fixing the roof, tomorrow...., but we seem beyond that now....
Today she was saying she had to go to her mum's because her mum looks after a baby & can't do it well.
Any attempt to distract was useless, mum was locked in a story that got more complicated until in the end she'd seen OH & me with her mum & dad & I'd told her we were going to go "up the road" & she had been looking forward to it & now I was changing my mind.
I don't expect any answers, there aren't any, I just feel so sad that mum will never it seems, have an easy mind.
The saddest thing of all was when she wailed " I just want to go home, but I don't know where home is"
