Isn't there a respite club in your area Dorothy where you mum could go so that you could have a day to yourself? Does she live with you or do you have to stay at her house every day for that length of time?

I live with HER!!! And yes, that IS as tough as it sounds.
She's very determined as to who she will and won't visit/have in her home, but isn't bad enough to have things imposed on her. So if the people she is happy to spend time with won't stay with her, it's down to me. I did have most of the day out to visit friends today though, so can't complain. And she didn't ring me either...usually, once I've been away for more than an hour or two, I get constant texts and calls, but I don't want to switch my phone off in case of emergency!
