Cant cope

A really hard decision to make i am sure but you have to do what you feel is right, for your children, your mum and YOURSELF

Noone should critisize you let alone your siblings, times like this people show their true colours eh?

Good luck and rest assured you are doing your very best for all concerned

Hi Jean, you know deep down you have done the right thing for everybody concerned, its not easy being full time carer not easy at all, so dont let anyone tell you otherwise.

take care hun love suzie xxxx

Hi Jean,

You have done the right thing. It takes real courage to make that decision and you should not feel bad about it. I am sure that your mum wouldn't want you to feel the way you do and have your family suffer and be torn apart that way. It is so hard physically, financially, mentally and emotionally to care for someone who is ill. I know, I did it with my mother-in-law, who passed from lung cancer, years ago while I was pregnant with my first child and now with my husband who has been ill for the past 15 months.

Regarding your siblings: I take it they don't help much with the caring? If they don't have anything positive to contribute or are unable or willing to help you then it could be a blessing that they don't speak to you right now. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Who needs the added stress when you have enough already? Focus on yourself, your children and your mum right now you can worry about them later.

Take care and I wish you all the best.

You really need to put yourself first (easier said than done I know) but sarsfield  is right  we are all here to listen,  no its not the same but a trouble shared...your siblings are being quite unfair but you don't need them if that's how they treat you. Concentrate on you and yours and sending a massive hug.  Let us know how you are getting on..see your GP. XXX
