I'd love to hear from anyone if they have really down days after visiting their relatives in care home. Everytime I go I seem so depressed not straight away the day after. I've suffered with depression in the past and to be honest it makes me feel so sad visiting. Dont get me wrong I try to remain up beat when I visit, maybe that's the problem.
It didn't help yesterday another resident who has had a go at my Mam about Mam wandering around 'her home she owns with her sister' had a go at me for moving a chair near Mam as Mam was sat with her legs up due to them being swelled and couldn't move to another chair. The lady without me knowing moved my chair and had I not checked where it was could of really fallen trying to sit down which then the lady decided to spit over and over at me, who knows why. I just wanted to burst in tears it was too much.
So now when I visit tomorrow I dread going and will have to keep out the living room where the woman is.
I've chatted with the social worker about how I feel who did understand. I do worry about Mam though as she wouldn't hurt a fly.
There are some lovely people in Mams home especially one lady I always chat to I think this one woman just hates me chatting to them or just me being there,
Sorry, just needed a moan.
