Feeling awful. Just put mum in CH this afternoon. She didn't know we were doing it and didn't think we could do it. Wouldn't discuss beforehand (doesn't think there's anything wrong anyway) so it had to be this way. We had carers in every day but she insisted on going out every day too - problems with keys, money, taxis etc and her poor mobility made me think it was the right time and a place had become available in my chosen care home. Everyone told me it was the right thing to do. We just had to leave her there this afternoon and I feel dreadful. Just phoned and they said she's threatening to phone the police and refusing food. Says she's going on hunger strike. Has anyone ever had to take their parent out of CH?? I feel horrible, and ashamed that I've done this. Can't see the light at the end of the dark tunnel at the moment.
