I'm sure people have helped me before, but I'm just being a bit thick.
What is the difference between a thread and a post?
I have sent "new stuff" to the site, but have no idea how to find how or if people have responded. Should I do this via a Thread, or via a Post? And how do I find out if they have responded?
I just don't know how to use the site for my own benefit. I can add lots of comments to other people's queries, but don't have a clue how to find out who has responded to my queries unless it is by chance.
I am new to all this. Most of you have been suffering AD for years, we had just 2 months to get adjusted, one day mum was seemingly okay, the next a hospital case and not allowed out without 24-hour supervision. I just seem to feel so alone. I have no siblings, my husband has no siblings, no cousins able to help (most abroad or not seen in 30 years), my two daughters visit rarely (aren't able to) and find mum "fine" when they do, and I get the impression they think I have "put her there" for convenience. Well, sorry, it was much more convenient when mum was looking after her own life, and might have lived like that for years, and I would have inherited her house. Now the house is sold, to pay for her care, (though we have had to pay the first three months ourselves, nearly £6,000, and I wouldn't have done that if I had been "after her money". I feel so alone, and I do not know how to access the replies I have put on the site where people might be able to help me to feel better.
I've probably already been told. Sorry, I've forgotten. I am not good at this. Spent the last two weeks emptying mums house of 50 years of married life, parts of it are upsetting. The tears are coming again. Stop it Margaret, this is how life is. And I didn't even love my mum (that's another issue).
Brucie has tried to give me a run-down on how to get access to replies to my mails, but I just don't understand it. Can someone else please try? Words of one syllable please. An Idiots Guide.
Please help, I am at the end of my tether. I feel so alone.
Regards
Margaret
