Have you any support in place for your mum & dad?

Hi Cat 27

Thanks for your reply. .yes we have marvellous carers who come in 4 times a day and someone who sits with mam 4hrs a week and regular respite .I worked tirelessly for months wading through SS to get what we're entitled too. I think its the emotionality of everything that takes its toll on me.Especially as my partner works away..better today knowing people care and not so alone .thanks indeed Cat for your reply

The emotional is one of the hardest things for me. I dread the phone ringing etc.

I absolutely agree with that. In the rare moments that I am away from mum, each time the phone rings I am on edge, I get that "dentist feeling" (if that makes sense to any other dental phobics out there!)
