My mother in law came to stay with us about three months ago after several falls in her own home, she was 20 miles away so not just round the corner. We thought she was at end of life as she kept blacking out, needing hospital admission and just generally struggling on her own so we moved her into our house for what we thought would be a few weeks. Since then she is doing great and can walk with her frame but needs food making for her, washing doing and canbgenbe veyvrude. She wouldn't survive at home on her own or in her own accommodation but is not care home material yet either. She is not very sociable and would get really depressed and tearful. Part of me thinks awful thoughts that the only way out of this is when she dies. She complains with about the food we make her, even though its the same microwave meals she had at home. She doesn like our food andnill be damned if we are cooking separate meals. We re totally fed up of the responsibility, having to plan what we do around her, our son is struggling to accept she is here and quite frankly I just wish she would go somewhere else. There is nobody else to help, we have carers but when she says she is being a burden I'd love to be honest and say yes you are. I feel horrible but I am also thoroughly miserable.
