Hello everybody, new here. Like newborn new. Any live in carers out there that can actually tell to me about how difficult it is to care for someone when your own need care? I’m Portuguese, I moved to England a few years ago. I made England my home. I met my partner here and we built a little life together. We own a flat in the south and I do three to four weeks placements and then have a few weeks off to myself and him. It works fine. But we’re not getting any younger are we? Am I the only one who feels like I’m missing my own life with a feeling of “guilt”?
And it’s not just about my partner. My mom’s has been diagnosed with cancer December last. She’s not coping well with chemo and is going through a hard time. Again the same feeling. “Guilt”. I’m not even sure if that’s the right feeling. It’s something in between feeling guilty and feeling I’m being selfish. Shouldn’t I be there with her? But then, this was the life I chose.
Caring is what I do. What I’m good at. What I like doing. But sometimes it’s so hard.
If you read this message until here, thank you! I’m a bit tired of talking to the walls. Hence the creation of my space.
🙏🏼
