My Girl

[Emma Forrester]

My name is Emma. I live in Harrogate. I am my daughter Charlie's carer. She suffers from anorexia and mental health problems, she is 20 years old and was in hospital recently in Leeds which we both found very stressful but she is home now and looking forward to her 21st party in may

Hello Emma. Good to have you with us. Welcome

Pleased to hear that your daughter is back home with you now. That must be a relief. Travelling back and forth to Leeds is stressful in itself.

As you can see. Plenty of friendly faces here....

Welcome to the Forum. Travelling and caring for a loved one can be tremendously stressful, especially at this time of the year when the weather is bad. Take care.

proud of my daughter she is really trying hard to keep on top of the eating and i know she is struggling but we take 1 day at a time. the football club she coaches with are sending her on a referee's course as they have no qualified refs in the club also on a coaching course to become qualified they are paying. they have also put her on the club committee she is the youngest member they have had on it' i think this has helped her confidence levels. as from the end of feb i will be carer to my mother in law who lives alone and her sons do not live in harrogate she has slight dementia and really does not want to go into a home just yet if it can be helped. i offered to do this because living not too far from her i am able to go any time and can stay as long as needed on each visit also as i have known her for 26 years so know her little ways and where things are in her home,i can do silly little things like polish her silver with her and also talk about the past and know what she is talking about. the most important thing i can give her is consistancy just one person seeing to her as agency wont always be able to send same person each time and this may confuse her more. this also gives my brothers in law (will never call them ex in laws ) peace of mind and any way even though i am not really her daughter in law we still have a strong relatinship and i will always love her. better go now and get my beautiful daughter up for breakfast

Hello Emma. Great to hear from you again

Thanks for the update and positive news re your daughter. I can hear just how proud you are !

Hope everything goes well regarding your mother in law. Everything you say makes sense. Continuity is so important and its often the 'little' things that can make a big difference.

I love Harrogate. Not been for two or three years. Betty's tea shop and the gardens. Even tried some spa water one day which was pretty awful !

Best wishes,

Robert
