hoping for some direction, my mum has cared for my bi polar step dad for 20 years and she's on the edge. she's burnt out and has taken the leap and booked the holiday of a lifetime for herself, alone, for 10 weeks. step dad has gone down hill in the run up to her departure and is suicidal. mum leaves in 10 days and she must go, she really must. she's given so much and needs the break.
I've offered to step in and look after step dad but I don't really know where to start. the new Dr at the mh team said he would see SD in 6 weeks time but he's on the verge of ending everything each night. who do I call? what's the provision of services? we are in east Anglia.
