I know this is going to make me look like a terrible Mother but it is the truth.
I hate where I live. I have no friends, no hobbies, no life. I have been a carer to my daughter all of her life and have been isolated due to this. When we moved here we had family and a support network here. Now there is nothing.
There is also nothing locally for people who aren't young people or pensioners and it is difficult to get to places as a non driver.
My daughter hates being left in the house on her own and for years I've been stuck here, unable to go anywhere.
My daughter is now in her twenties and still lives at home. She needs considerable support but has a life. She has a job, she is studying, she has friends, she goes out.
She does need support with daily tasks, cooking, forms, appointments and social support, she needs support to cook but she has a life.
I have nothing and it is making me extremely depressed.
I.want to move back to where I grew up, in an area I love and am familiar with, near the sea which I love and my daughter doesn't.
I want a life again.
She has a life here and I don't..
She's my child and I love her but am I supposed to live this life of nothing until she decides she does not need me anymore and leaves me behind?
