Would just like to apologise for my outburst, was drunk and feeling very bitter.
We actually did have too move to care for FIL, he was originally not too poorly to be in a care home, but did need quite a lot of daily support and because local authority realised he was self funding we had no help, not even advise. Off the record I was told 'he wont go on any list'.
We sold our house, bought one suitable had it fitted out etc then went through the whole dreary dementia journey. After his death we realised his tax affairs were in a bad way and a lot of tax owing. We ended up emotionally and physically wrecked and very bitter about lack of official help and of course we had both had to give up work. Thankfully a local charity did offer some supportive advise but that was in the new area we moved to. Its taken us a long time to recover.
