That's essentially what I am trying to get across. It could be the Invisibles who help to smooth the imbalance, or it maybe the Government.
I really don't know where you would start. Here's a rant while I listen out for dad;
I've signed numerous petitions trying to get dementia recognised for what it is. The Continuing care framework is shocking. I'm linked into support from both the carers society and Alzheimers which is great for a shoulder to cry on, moral support, ideas etc, I've seen my MP. I've spoken to dads consultant. I follow current affairs. I hear all about us carers saving the govt the equivalent of the NHS in finance. Who in power is actually bothered? I've not heard the new care minister shouting out much. He is on Twitter spouting about a carers discount card in Bedfordshire and carers knowing their rights. Maybe I'm wrong but for me carers rights is just words on paper and have not made a shred of difference to my current situation. My experiences with social services has been underwhelming and I don't relish the prospect of ever having contact again. I know they are under staffed, overworked and stressed. So am I.
It's the weekend after a hideous week at work. What am I doing? Looking after Dad. When will I get a break? When I go back to job on Monday.
Still, it's thanksgiving and I must be grateful anf thankful for what I am currently dealing with as I know it could be a whole lot worse.
Good night to you lovely people.
