Am an only child and very close to my mum who has recently been ill, is still in hospital and half paralysed. She is doing physio and is desperate to get home to us. She has been with us for Christmas and it has been a wake up call for me that I can't cope with her. She is adament that she doesn't want to go in a care home and we have been planning a granny annexe with carers on the understanding that she can at least make a cup of tea/go to the loo on her own when I am not there.
She is (understandably) in complete denial about her recovery and looking forward to her granny annexe. Christmas has made me realise that although I can cope with the bodily functions of a variety of pets and children, caring for my mum as she is now completely changes our relationship. She is quite emotionally demanding at the best of times, love her as I do
Am I being unreasonable or unrealistic? I have a dh and two dcs and am also worrying about how my marriage would survive?
Don't know how to handle this.
