Hello everybody.
Havent been on here for a while, but always reading other posts. Mum lives with us and some days are really challenging but we seem to get though somehow. Feeling really guilty at the moment as me and family are going away for Xmas. Have eventually found a respite home for her but that doesnt stop me feeling so BAD about her not being with us, this is the first break I have had for nearly a year.My main problem is trying talk to her about presents and cards as some days she says she has to go and buy things then other days its all gone and blames me for not telling her. It would be much better for our lovely confused relatives to not have a Christmas at all but then you have to think of the rest of the family. How does anyone else cope with all this stress, I would welcome your views.
