Hi This is my first posting and Im desperate to talk to someone who understands how Im feeling.
My family are very good but I am sick and tired of people telling me I have to do 'What is best' in other words I have to put mum into a care home!
I feel sick at the thought and have been crying and not sleeping worrying about her future.
A while ago when mum was having a good day I promised her I would never do anything to upset, frighten or hurt her and now I am getting pressure to do just that.
At the moment she is in temporary care after a 2 week stay in hospital after a fall at home (she din't injure herself)she is receiving rehabilitation and physio and they agree with me mum could have bit longer in her own home. I am now awaiting a care package, which she had before this episode.
Some of the Carers were appalling they would pop in and ask her how she was , did she want anything and of course she would say no and they would leave. I was doing all her shopping, cleaning, washing and cooking meals to leave in her freezer for the carers to re-heat. But I then discovered mum wasnt eating or drinking as she needed promting all the time and the carers had long since left her alone.
I work full time, my husband has Elipelsy and my poor son who is only 32 has had a Stroke, he is married with a young family and a large mortgage and Im worried to death about him.
I need to know of any organisations who can help me.
Thanks for listening it fells good getting it all off my chest
