Hi Junie, I sympathise as my Mum was in exactly the same state a few years ago. She died over 3 years ago thank goodness as how she or I would have coped in the present situation I dread to think. (She was almost 100). I too visited her every day. Sound gives company and passes the time so:- A radio...

Hi Susan, I think you are saying that your husband is bed bound, has very poor sight and you have to do everything. Wash him, feed him, entertain him care for him and generally spend your life being his slave? Not good. You say he is a heavy drinker. So who gets his booze for him? You? I imagine tha...

In return I was promised that I would inherit the house, keep my relationship going and have my own space. What you were looking at was Nan a...

Hi Natasha. I feel for you because you shouldn’t be in this position. My immediate feeling, and please understand that I have no wish to cause offence, is that you have been ‘groomed’ from an early age to ‘take care’ of your mother. The ‘leave me’ comments are just her way of putting pressure on you...

I = Icing on the Christmas cake.

Hi Dawn, Do you think that Mum is frightened of losing the company he provides, is 'brain washed' (sorry for that awful term but can't think of another at the moment) by him, or doesn't realise that she does not have to look after him at all. I wonder if a visit to an appropriate solicitor would she...
