i got mum into respite and i also got her another week stay but i am getting help to try and get her in to permenent care me and hubby spoke to the staff at the home this morning and they also agree with us that 24 hour care is what mum need but no i wish i had done it sooner. last night i called my brother to let him know what i was planning to do with mum and now the whole family is against me but i dont care im trying to do whats best for mum. Today my oldest brothers girlfriend started on me outside the home where mum is she also threatned to hit me lol i just laughed at her. Mum has decided that she only wants me my hubby my kids and my step kids to visit her and the others are not allowed in after finding out the so called sis in law was in the boozer before she went to see mum the staff wernt to happy about that as she had the cheek to ask the staff in the home for a vodka what a bare faced cheek anyway i will keep everyone updated

Oh dear what a right carry on. This sounds much like my own situation with my family.

Just carry on doing what is best for your mum, after all she is the priority.

I wish you all the very best.

Sorry you're having these horrendous problems with your family. Sounds like your mum has made the best decision, and it is what she wants that matters. It is quite obvious you have your mum's best interests at heart and she knows that, hope you get her settled soon.

Take care of you too.

Sorry you're having all those problems Jean. At least your mum obviously knows who the people are who truly care for her and want what's best for her. How dare they criticise you when you've done such a great job looking after your mum. Don't worry about them hun. You do what's right for your mum and you. Caroline XX

Sorry u having to have the extra burden of family problems when at times like this u would expect for everyone to not think of themselves and help and make things easier. You are doing what's best for your mum and even she knows who she really needs by her side like u my husband did not need the hassle from family and also chose not to have anyone except me and kids by his side and didn't want anyone else with him so I can understand what u are going through. I am now all by myself with my kids but I have no regrets since like u I always had the best interest for him and noone else mattered enough just him and although its sad that u have to be against everyone so as your loved one is as stressed free as possible but it is the best choice. My husbands parents came in to hospital thinking he was on his bed death and when they saw him sitting up in bed believe me nothing nice came out from them so had to ask hospital staff to get them out they never came back or saw him again not his parents, aunts, uncle's or 11 cousins but it meant him being with no worries and just concentrating on what really mattered him. keep strong your mother is really proud of you! take care and big hug tuatara xx
