Why not contact your university accomodation department? They usually have lists of landlords or houses which accept students & so are used to the income/guarantor problems. Alternatively the local council housing department for the area that you are moving to may be able to give you lists of recomm...

I also care for my husband who has a deteriorating condition. I did know before we married but it is still horrendous watching him deteriorate. There are different emotions & challenges for each type of caring - for a parent, a child, a partner. We find the most important thing is keeping our relati...

Morning Chris I also have a teenage son with Asperger's and puberty has been incredibly difficult. I also care for my physically disabled husband and long distance for my parents & MIL. Getting pulled in all directions with no support is very difficult. To get help in relation to your son may I sugg...

I am sorry to hear that Rob is back in hospital again. I hope that he recovers quickly. We have terrible problems getting blood out of hubby with congenital MD as he has contractures & can't straighten his arm. Every time he tells them he can't straighten his arm, every time he tells them they won't...

My thoughts will be with you, your husband & Rob. A very scary & difficult time.
Best wishes to you all.

Add into that people from residential accomodation where they often have an adapted minibus for transport & there is a large group of people unable to use that disabled park...

My husband is in his 50s & also has MD & some anxiety issues. He is now at a point that he is unable to go out alone due to his MD but is quite happy to be left alone at home. A lot of his anxiety centres around suitable toilets & falling - he is unable to get up with considerable help. I can unders...
