Unfortunately Mum was an only child and all of her close relatives are dead. She has one nephew who retired in Instanbul.
My sister has been a great help, but she also has her problems, her youngest has severe learning disabilities, and obviously that also takes a great deal of time and care.
I do feel exhausted and my work colleagues are disappointed at me turning down our Xmas night out, but they also understand my own care commitments.
Its ok, mum and I have looked at other options to help her and we now pay a small fee weekly for her to have a pendant and call for help, which she uses no problem currently.
