We have a Care Plan review for OH next week - 14 months since the Care Plan was set up.
Many of you know I am at my wit's end with my life as his carer.
His family say I should leave him - but I cannot make myself do that.,
But I need more time. My Carers Review says I am entitled to a life of my own. That I should reboot my career, and my peace of mind, time for my own family, my grandchildren( who are not his).
I cannot carry on as wretched as I am.
If I tell the social worker that I cannot look after OH any more like this - we are unable to self fund - and paint everything ever so black - do you think that they would allow me some Respite Care - I have none whatsoever, and I need some days when I do not have to think of him all the time, it's driving me potty.
So, what I am really asking is ' do any of you out there think I have any chance of getting respite, or is there simply none available - I have been told there isn't.......
My doctor says its untenable and plans ahead should be made.
