HI
My mum and her husband are having to move away as he has to give up work to be her full time carer.
They cant afford to live in the house they have if he doesn't work and they're not entitled to councial tax or Housing benefit because of the mortgage.
So because of the town we live there are no properties that are suitable so they have decided to move away
Which is fine. Im happy for them. Its great to live ned the coast if you can and if it makes mum happy then i am too.
Every weekend since my son was born (15 years) he has spent it with them.
They live round the corner so whenever he gets annoyed for whatever reason or just wants to chill hell run round to there, go walk the dogs, go town with them. The list is endless!
Although my son says he understands the reason they're moving to the coast and will be fun to go on holidays, i know he is devastated.
Obviously im worried! He is with an afterschool club so atleast he has somthing twice a week to take his mind of of things for a bit.
Ive tried looking for a saturday job but hes not old enough.
Any ideas how i can make it easier?
He will go up on moving day and stay with them as he likes decorating and we are only a couple of hours away when they move.
Last night, i got a call to ask if i could go help my step dad, and mum had a fall whilst they were out and shes shaken up, and because of the three big dogs they have he couldnt hold onto her and them so i went running up there, walked her back to mine where me an my partner took her to urgent care whilst stepdad went and put dogs back at there house.
I said to what you gonna do when you move! I cant drive 3 hours to help anytime you fall over or go walk about if stepdad cant cope!
SO NOW IM EVEN MORE WORRIED!
hes only just told me it frontotempal dementia she has. Ive done some research, and i have been asking him from day 1 which type she has and he said he didnt know. When i said is it frontotempal he said yeah somthing like that!
They had an argument a few weeks ago where stepdad bumped into a lady friend who mum just automatically assumed he was sleeping with her so she can running to my house. And i had to calm her down.
Where will she go when they move?
Im just alittle bit lost
