My poor mum is going through it at the moment, her dad, my granddad died, add that to caring for her husband, my dad with no outside help, apart from me & my partner who work full time. She is not sleeping, is on antidepressants, and I have tried to call Crossroads, a support network who can help for 3 hrs a week. I called them 10 weeks ago and they told be 3 weeks. I called them 4 weeks ago and they told me 4 weeks, and now I have chased them again and they have said they will call me back and that was 4 days ago!!, I have rung my dad's social support, and again have waiting 3 weeks for a response and when I rang again yesterday they said she would call me back and I am still waiting!! I am at my wits end for my poor mum, she is exhausted, and run down, and it seems that all these support groups are all to busy to help. I just don't know what to do.
She rings me at least 10 times a day for a bit of support, which I really don't mind, but I am at work, and just can't give her all the time she needs. Please someone suggest to me what I can do, I am really worried about her.
