Still no support

[selinakylie]

@Coolcar98 Have to agree with EEG. Very hard to disengage as you are a compassionate and caring lady. I personally would write to the Social Worker and state that for your own Mental Health, you are not prepared to provide any support to your mother, or be an emergency contact. I would also send special delivery and a copy to your employers and your GP just to show them that you really Do MEAN it. It sounds tough but I had to write to my late father’s GP as I was NOT going to be bullied into caring for two vicious old men who hated each other. My husband had just been discharged from hospital and I was his carer, and yet my fathers GP and the carers the Surgery put in place expected me to go over when he would not take his tablets/eye drops/eat/ engage with the Dementia Nurse. I also phrased it along the lines I might take legal action if they did not step up as they had a ‘legal duty of care’. I found this VERY hard as an only child but a couple of close friends could see how close I was to a breakdown. My father never forgave me and died in hospital a few weeks later but I am still standing 8 years later. Not proud of what I was driven to do but not ashamed either.
