A friend of mine recently commented on how she was so sad that my OH's life had turned out the way it has.
Was I just feeling sorry for myself or what because I really wanted to say "what about me, what about my life?"
Is it that some people just don't understand that WE as carers have also had our lives turned upside down too???
I really had to bite my tongue and let the comment go over my head. I didn't want her to think I was been selfish by thinking about myself too.
Yes I love him and yes I would do anything for him but I also know that he will become more and more dependent on me and my life will never be the same again. However, I do not begrudge him one minute of my time.
Through Talking Point I am learning to understand so much more about the illness and your strength is giving me the strength that I need.
Love to all xx
