Reading other posts - it must be the time of year.
I am having a really tough time at work - been there for 27 years and a new boss came in September - as her PA she is now expecting me to minute every meeting she has which means I have at least an additional 6 hrs a week work, but no increase in hours. I am desperate to get out and trying for another job (I have applied for one with less hours and less hourly rate - my husband says we can't afford it but I think it will be better than no money when i walk out! I did walk out last Friday as i couldn't stand it any more - my boss is very demanding and seems to have a blame culture - there is no way but her way.
On top of this Mum is deteriorating - on Thursday she was so upset - crying and telling me she had wet the bed and the carers were like wardens in a prison (I am certain this is not the case). I went into work totally drained.
Today, i thought she would be much better as my son came with me - he lives away from home and hasn't been back since Christmas. They adore each other and have a very close bond, but it made no difference - I was blamed for everything as always and even he couldn't snap her out of it. It is so hard when I love her so much but can't do anything to help her with this dreadful illness.
I am alone all week as my husband works away from home. Yesterday, i ended up at the Doctors for anti-depressants just to get me through it all. When will it end?
Rant over!
