Hi all
It's been ages since I've posted..so hope everyone is doing 'ok'.
Mum's been in her CH for a year now..following being sectioned & a 3 month stay in a secure hospital.
Her CH is fabulous ..staff are caring, mum's has put on over a stone ( she was under 7 stone ..so this is fab) & 70% of time, mum is settled, knows it's her home now( or a fancy hospital!) She still asks to go home or ' out' most visits ..but as we do take her out every weekend.i understand why.
So why do I feel so so guilty that I am going away next week, abroad for 7 nights.??
Mum will get a visit from my brother & her friend goes once a week..however since mum's been in the CH, we seemed to have developed this real bond. When i see her her face lights up, & the staff say she spends the days saying ' my daughter will come today' ..
I know she is safe..i know she will be ok..its me.
Why do we wear this guilt necklace so heavily .
& my poor hubby..his dad is in hospital awaiting surgery for a heart bypass & hubby is facing a redundancy situation...this holiday is the first on our own in 6 years ...we need it for our sanity!
Thank u for reading ..just wanted to put this out there..
