Social Services in particular and Doctors to some extent, rely on people such as yourself to not make a fuss: it lowers their workload and responsibility considerably, the only people who get help consistently are the ones who won't give up.Sakura wrote: ↑Sun Jun 20, 2021 8:52 pmI have spoken to the doctor and social services, neither of which bother to even acknowledge my existence so I have stopped bothering since they won't do anything.
I used to get some respite from going shopping but now he has stopped that saying I waste money and can't be trusted.
I am not looking for advice. I am just letting off steam.
Let him do the shopping then - if he can't or won't do it, try missing out a couple of meals, (have something tucked away as a back-up when he complains that he's got no dinner).
It's perfectly OK to let off steam, but in your situation it's only ever going to be a temporary respite, you need more, ask for it, ask us here and ask Social Services, (see para.1).
