Caring for a loved one around a full time job

I care for my mum and work full time. It’s hard work and I have no support from any other services. Sometimes I just want to breakdown but I can’t because my mums dementia is deteriorating quickly. I’m working towards keeping my mums wishes to staying at home. I’m a dementia champion in a care home so my days are long, challenging but very rewarding. Sometimes I just need to know I am doing a good job with everything. There is very little support out there once loved ones are diagnosed
