Well I just don't know how you guys that work and care do it without losing the plot with the one you are caring for!
I know i am not perfect but these last few days i just feel less and less like coping with mother. I actually had the thought the other day of just walking out and telling SS that i didn't live there anymore and they had to look after her, but of course I didn't
I know we all go through tired stages and fed up stages and just complete anger stages as this disease takes the person bit by bit, but i do feel right now that i am not that good for mother. I get up every morning promising myself that i will not get stroppy or wound up with mother, but that lasts about 2 minutes after her good morning and the proverbial 20 questions act! I spend the rest of the day reminding myself that it is not her fault, and not to be angry or resentful but more and more i feel like that.
Anyway, tomorrow and Thursday she has her Lunch Club, so a little respite, mind you only to find that our water is getting cut off tomorrow for the day - sigh
Anyway moan and feel sorry for myself time over, off to fill pots and pans with water for emergency water and done 2 lots of washing and dishwasher done.
Hugs and love
