I took my mums hairdresser to her care home tonight to dye her hair. My mum has always been so proud of her appearance that I'm not going to let her go grey even if she doesn't notice, care or understand. She watched her hair being dyed with fascination like she'd never seen it done before. Then whilst telling me repeatedly that she wants to come home with me she looks me straight in the eyes and says "I hate you". That right there has to be the worst thing so far on this horrible journey. I know my mum loves me. I know she doesn't mean it. But I also know that as long as she can remember who I am she will also think she hates me. I don't think I can cope with this.
I don't expect anyone to have an answer for how to deal with this. I guess I just needed to get this out.
