hi i am a full time multi carer i have a semi disabled husband daughter with pmg syndrome and mental health and sister with learning disabilities ,yep a hand full i know but hey thats life i always work on the theory there is someone worse off than me .
at the moment i am struggling as i feel i have failed due to my care package i have had to let my mum go into a care home and it is mentally killing me i feel really guilty as i wanted her to live with me to ,but as i have my husband and sister i could not have more .
as i dont get out much it would be great to be able to talk to others who understand how disabilities make people think you are just being ignorant or rude when u say im sorry i cant make it as u cant get back up or only have limited topics to talk about ,but anyway hello to everyone

    Hi @torgan381, and welcome!

    It sounds like you have a lot on your plate at the moment. Do you have any support in place for yourself? I've moved your post into our Parents and Carers category where there may be more members who can relate to your situation. You might also like to have a look at the existing discussions within that category.
