Hi Julie B
Thank you very much for your reassuring comments and kind words.
Leaving Mam's assets alone, which only amounts to a few 1000's is my first financial rule, I'm not too sure what Mam's weekly/monthly income is, I do know that she gets AA and perhaps that would be an acceptable amount to "take" from her, I don't know.
My partner and I both share the same thoughts regarding peace of mind that Mam would be as happy as possible with us. I don't expect any family help and we've already experienced the gradual disappearance of extended family members visits, shame on them, that's what I say.
We've experienced some hard work already, especially the night time activity of continuous up and down every 20 - 30 minutes, we have a rule, I get up and see to Mam. I'm a light sleeper, only need a few hours every night, so it's not an issue for me, it doesn't make me mardy or irritable.
