I am recovering from Carers Breakdown. I am having a rest at a retreat house currently. It has been so traumatic and as a Carers Ambassador I never felt this could happen to me. My husband is now in a care home. I could tell my story of caring over the past 10 years but apart from our personal stories some long held views need to change I think. Talk about your caring role. Care as long as you can. When you cannot accept it. When you are no longer coping say so. You are not to blame.
