Hello,
Apologies if I am going over old ground as I am sure this is an issue that many of you have dealt with.
My dad is now my mum's main carer and she is wholly dependant on him now.
Unsurprisingly my dad is shattered and is in need of a break.
Therefore, I wanted to ask people's experiences of how best to handle it. We all know that my dad needs a break but are worried how my mum will cope if he is not around. How have other people dealt with this? And what amounts of time have other people taken as breaks away from the person they are caring for?
Any advice and insights would be much appreciated.
Best wishes
