One of my parents was diagnosed with a glioblastoma recently and quickly lost a lot of function. I’ve been trying to work full time and support my other parent and brother with the care. The carers come three times a day but they still tend to him constantly. I feel like I’m failing as a daughter, sister and a partner. I want to take time off work to do more but I would have to take a pay cut to do so which we can’t afford. I feel so isolated from the caring, and from work, and from my partner. Everyday brings fresh anxiety and I don’t think people at work understand. I feel awful for thinking about myself in this time.
