I only registered yesterday but I feel so much better reading alot of your posts and replies. I keep beginning to read and think "that's just like our situation" and intend to reply, then I'll read another few and almost every situation has something I feel I can relate to.
I do want to reply but at the moment I am feeling a bit overwhelmed, I think.
But I certainly feel better and somehow more at peace with myself. I have had a very weepy few days as I think it is only starting to sink in that this is for real and forever.
My Dad seems to be at the same stage as me too. I think we are just learning the meaning or the saying "Life's a Bitch"
My Mum differs so much from day to day and I think we are only beginning to understand to grasp the good days with both hands.
I also feel relieved because today I asked my GP if we should try and make Mum aware of what is wrong with her when we are having a good day, she said it probably wouldn't make a difference because later that day she will have forgotten, I just wasn't sure if we were doing the best by her, that slight reassurance together with this forum has given my heart a little lift today.
Thankyou all, x
