Oh actually I think @Kendodd started this one. Can't read. Thank you x

@NefretForth I think any level of exposure to this hidden world is traumatic; please join us.
I'm having one of those endlessly weeping about the past we've lost days, so just reading today. But many, many thanks for everyone here, and thank you @StiffyByngsDogBartholomew for starting thread 2.
It needs to be a permanent feature on MN.

Thanks for the new thread, I feel a bit of a fraud being on here as I'm not carrying half the load some of you are, but it's really helpful to know I'm not alone.

Thankyou for starting Thread 2. It’s a lifesaver for me

I've just read your original thread and I hope you're beginning to care for yourself a bit more now.

You've been through a terrible ordeal. I'm so sorry.

Agree with you. Prolonging life where there is no quality of life is cruel on everyone, being an enforced carer/slave to the ill. No thanks, I ve no desire to be Mother Theresa, and I understand fully why MT had an extreme empathy deficit as she aged.
