hello. I am new here and have realised that I can’t go this alone. What upsets me most is that my mum can’t remember when we visit her. I stayed over at my mums recently to see how she was coping and we gad a lovely time together. I returned home reluctantly yesterday and she phoned me last night to ask if i was ok as she had not seen me in a long time. She sees me every other day. I do her washing and take her shopping and to appointments etc. I call her every day and am there when she needs me. I would move in with my mum to help her but am on ESA for health problems and as i am with social housing i am agraid to give up my house as i know that when my mother goes (she is 93) my sister wants to sell the house and i would have to start at the bottom rung of the ladder to get another house. I’m sorry for the long post but i just don’t know what to do. My main concern is that my mum thinks we don’t visit her and therefore don’t love her. She is loved tremendously. She has care coming in on the evening to give her dinner and tabs and monday coming a carer will visit in the morning too. Her friend and neighbour visits every day to take myms dog a walk and a cleaner, who us more l8ke a friend now, pops in at least thrice a week to clean and make sure mum is ok. My mum is able physically but just not mentally. I have tried to do crosswords and puzzles with her but she says she can’t be bothered, noe can she be bothered to watch the tv. If she went into a home she would miss her cat and dog and it would kill her. Any and all advice most welcome.
