Some of you might now that I care for my mother (living with her) but don't get much support from my siblings. Sister S is great but lives 200 miles away so no practical help. Sister N and brother A live locally but don't do a thing for my mum.
Can't believe it but have just posted an ultimatum on our private Facebook page (the only place we communicate) letting them know that I will be moving out of mums next April (this bit is true - I am going to get a place with my boyfriend) and that unless they start giving some assistance then I will be stepping back from the carers role altogether.
My heart is hammering waiting to see what they say. I'm not sure I really could step back from my mums care (I'd feel so guilty) but I want them to believe I would. Not sure if this is the right thing to do or if its going to blow up in my face but well, couldn't carry on so I've gorn and done it now. God knows what's going to happen. Eek!
