Welcome to all carers.
My my name is Rob, I care for my girlfriend Laura though if the truth be known she probably dose more for me with emotional support than I ever do for her.
they say opposites attract and in the case of me and Laura nothing could be more true.
I am in my early fifties and Laura is in her twenties although I consider myself quite well educated it is because I read anything and everything as school was a place there for me to have fun and nothing else, on the other hand laura is well educated naturally clever,she passed all her GCSEs on her course work alone because she was to unwell to actually sit any exams, quite an achievement , the only thing I ever sat was outside an office waiting to be suspended or caned.
the home environment in which we were raised was also very different, mine being approve school or borstal, hers being nice surroundings with a mum who dotted on her like a good mother should.
so yes we are very unlike but together we're like Fish and Chips,Bubble and squeak or Strawberries & Champagne we complement each other perfectly.
This is is a brief introduction by me to anybody like myself who cares for a loved one in physical or mental pain, I am a moderator for this board (carers crib),and I would be happy to be a supportive contact to anyone who would like to use carers crib for information or somewhere to chat about the roll of being a carer, so why not take advantage of anonymous advise or just getting something off your chest.
