My dad is my mums full time carer and he will call myself, my sister or brother mainly in an evening during a crisis to chat with my mum to try and help the situation
When she is sad we can help quite easily but talking it through with her, telling her we love her but when she is more emotional, quite angry and talks of being frightened I really struggle to know what to say and feel helpless
I come of the phone feeling like I’ve not helped the situation and have left my dad to continue dealing with things
Any advice? Anyone used any help lines they would recommend?
we are early in our days of receiving support but the need seems to escalating quickly
Thanks lots
