Cant cope

Hi Jean,

Priorities Jean thats what your left with,and its not going to be easy. Your first priority is you own well being. You Have to do what you think is right.

You have a lot of friends on this site only too willing to listen and to talk.  If you are feeling you cant cope go see your Dr and have a chat with him. or

arrange to see a councillor.  By talking you are at least getting things off your chest. Your son has made his choice.As has your Brothers and Sister

that dosent mean they have made the right choice.

Remember you have a very big Family here who are only too willing to help. All the best.

Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xxx

Hello Jean

Well done for deciding you need to change things for the good of all in your family, including your children your  Mum and you! No doubt it's been a very hard thing to decide, but it is a very brave and courageous decsion to have made. As Sarsfiled says, you have a lot of friends here (Big family) who are all willing to help and listen and talk and support you however we are able to.

Take care. God Bless. Love, Rose x x x

Hi Jean,

I'm so sad to hear your family arn't talking to you right now, they need to remember it's so easy looking in from the outside.Being a full time carer needs the patience of a saint(and the strength). I'm sure you've made the right decision and through time your family will come to see and appreciate what you have been through.My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Stay strong

Hi Jean.  I'm so pleased you have made this decision and I really hope social services get their finger out.  You need to look after yourself and your kids.  As for your siblings, how dare they criticise you, where have they been when you needed help or a break?  I've said it to you before if they don't like the idea of your mum being in care they should have a go at what you've been doing!

As you know Jean I'm about to embark on what you have been doing but I just have myself to look after, and don't have to balance looking after 3 kids with my mums care.  I don't know how you've managed.  You have done a fantastic job and are now doing what is best for your mum, you and your family. Love to you all.  Caroline XX  

Hi Jean,

I truly believe you are doing the right for both your mum and your family - you know in your heart of hearts it is and that is what counts.  You will be able to visit mum and actually be a daughter; precious moments and you have cared for her as a daughter should.  

Hope you get things sorted soon.

Love
