I have not been on Talking Point for a while as I felt totally suffocated with my situation.
I have just got back from a week visiting my daughter and husband in Hamburg and felt for once I was in the 'real world'!!! I had to get away from my husband as I was at breaking point as he is slowly deteriorating. To be able to get away in the first place was like a military operation! I have carers popping in every day to check on him - his sons came down at the weekend - post-it notes everywhere and lists - my polish cleaner - her mother popped in to check on him one day - all the food ready for him etc., etc.,
I know it most probably will sound terrible but I did not want to come back from Germany. I feel now my home is my prison and with A taken off the road he is always around me.
