Just that. Mother full time carers who have enabled her awful behaviour and complete refusal to do a thing for herself. Her behaviour towards me is rude, degrading, dismissive. I am scared of her. I record all our conversations in case she makes allegations against me. I live 65 miles away. I have LPA for her for both health and finance. Dad in nursing home - lovely man. Mother meant to be joining him. Trouble releasing funds. I just can't carry on. I can't afford to pay for their nursing home or my mother's carers. Can't sleep. No point going to doctor. What will happen to them? Brother a vulnerable adult. And not bright.

Hello OP, we are really sorry to read you are feeling this way.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health Resources page. You can also go to the Samaritans or email them on [email protected].

We see that you are already getting some wonderful support on this thread - support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

Wishing you the very best
MNHQ💐
