Hi,
My mum has lived with me for the last 8 years and has had vascular dementia for the last 18 months. I have been on a sabbatical from work for the last year to look after her properly with no care package or any regular help from family members because of the distance. I got to breaking point a couple of months ago. Mum has been in a care home for the last 3 weeks and the feeling of betrayal and guilt is so overwhelming. I couldn't settle her into the home due to covid. And now in wales we are on lockdown. I cry everday not knowing if I have done the right thing and I also miss her lots.
