Reading through the posts I see that some parents are almost approaching 100. Unless mums were getting on a bit when they had children , some of the carers could be 70 or slightly more.
It's so worrying isn't it , when we may have our own health problems to be carers at this stage in our lives with often very problematic parents.
For anyone approaching their 70s or is already in them and caring, my heart goes out to you and depending how long mum goes on for ( she's only 84) I too with my very dodgy health could be in exactly the same position
In fact I think she's healthier than I am.
I just know one thing. I do miss the mum I used to have. As we all do.
