I't's tough to be a carer

Roy

I have been a carer now for 2 years looking after my mum who has Progressive Supranuclar Palsy. It has been so tough and very tiering, All too often I can have 15 -16 hour day as I hold down a full time job too, you constantly worry if they are ok, Very rarely do you get asked how you are and if you do talk to people about it, unless you have been in that situation they don't get what it's like to be a carer. We do get left behind and seem forgotten, we do this as we care about our loved ones.
