I've been a member of TP for ages but rarely even look at it, let alone post. But it came to mind today when I just feel at the end of my tether.
My mum has AD, diagnosed 6 years I think. The disease progressed very slowly which we're thankful for. But it does progress. I'm also primary carer for a young friend with an eating disorder and depression. (Complicated story but her parents don't know of her troubles). And my husband has recently been diagnosed with depression and is increasingly short tempered.
This morning I've just been to my mum's to pack for her. She's going away for 4 days with her gentleman friend. Lovely for them you'd think. But she gets so confused when things happen out of her routine and she's packed herself twice in the last 3 days. All inappropriate things. I'm short of time today and it was just the last straw when I got there to do it and she'd packed it all again.
And my husband and I had words last night. Still not resolved.
And my young friend doesn't need to be burdened with my problems.
sorry, ranting. Just wanted to let some of it out.
