Hi AmeliaM
a warm welcome to TP
I'm so glad that you found the forum and have already drawn comfort from reading this thread - and found, as many of us do, that writing out your own thoughts helps gain a perspective
you are definitely not alone - each one us has our own story, on a shared theme
Reading your story, this stood out for me
your mum was right to trust you, and you have done everything you can - so be gentle on yourself
dad's in a care home now, too - I just take each day at a time - and work on not expecting too much
keep posting
and
best wishes to you too

You have worked so hard to keep your mum safe at home and then realised that circumstances required that she be safe in a care home - it's not what you all hoped for, but it's not "all gone wrong"; it's just gone differently, as it often does in lifeShe trusted us to do our best for her and its all gone wrong
