I have just had a visit from the CPN which was requested before Christmas (the last one said that their was nothing more they could do last August) as I felt my ex-partner was getting worse and she has confirmed what I thought which is a relief, but the great thing is she actually sat and listened to me and spoke in depth about what will happen next and that I should at some point start looking for more residential care in terms of carers breaks (last one January 2014).
I know it sounds trivial but I feel as tho a weight has been lifted of my shoulders and that someone actually cares instead of just leaving us to get on with it and struggle on a daily basis. I know this isn't easy for anyone and I am prepared to face whatever happens as I refuse to put him into residential care full time as I feel that whatever time he has left then he should spend it with people he just about knows (even tho he thinks I'm his brother) and I know he's happy, infact just seeing him sat with a smile on his face makes me happy.
