its not easy being a carer.
respite is a good thing - maybe see if you can get more weekends - and go do something *for you* not shopping maybe a hair cut or dye your hair or paint your nails.

I care for my DS who is 4 and a bit and its full time, full on care with no respite (as yet) be kind to your self. because you need to be ok to care for another if you want to can talk/vent to me via PM :hugs:
