What would my position be if I just stopped being responsible for mum?
Who do I need to inform that I am no longer prepared to make sure mum is looked after by the carers and entertained by the day clubs I have got her into?
Mum is self funding. Mum has Vascular Dementia,COPD and was in intestine care for 6 weeks in 2010 and is unable to look after herself.
Mums doctor is on an unlimited sabbatical - what ever that means.
Mum gets full rate attendance allowance. Has a blue badge. I have financial POA. Awaiting Welfare POA. She doesn't eat unless prompted. She showers once a year at most. She hangs up her tena lady pads to dry because she only "did a little tinkle" on them and she diesnt want to be wasteful she cannot remember how to use her inhalor, i arranged for her to have all the gizmos to help her use them, instead of 2puffs she can have 4-8 puffs and overdoses on ventolin, so getting giddy and the shakes she stumbles on the pattern of a plain carpet she comes across as extremely capable to the point that the red cross befriender suggested to mum she gets a job with the WVRS.
Mums CPN suggested I get the council tax relief for mum because she has full rate attendance allowance. The doctor covering mums doctor has just refused to sign the council tax form. so why did the CPN put me up to be patronised and smacked down?
I have had enough of the brick walls. I have had enough of putting others first. I have had enough of the so called support being as obstructive as they can be. I have had enough of having to double check transport for mum for it to fail, I have had enough of hearing outright dam lies
I need to put me and my husband first. My husband needs me. I need my husband. We don't have time for each other.
