I have been a carer for many years - my son was brain damaged at birth due to incompetent staff. Caring has taken it's toll on me, my son now lives about 15 miles away with day services and domiciliary care. I keep getting bad chest infections after Christmas, when son is home full time, so treated myself to 2 weeks in Cyprus. Glorious "shorts and a vest top" weather. Arrived home 10pm Wednesday evening. Yesterday, less than 12 hours after arriving home, there was a flurry of phone calls and emails. One day service now doesn't want clients going to different services every week, so my son can have 2 days with them but must drop the other two. No idea what will happen those 2 days now. Social Services can't tell me either. In the days when my son was in residential care, it would have been relatively easy to provide him with care and avoid contact with anyone else, but now there are so many people involved with his care and support, thanks to a change in government policy and the closure of the home he was in, as a result. Maybe in the long run the virus will lead to a serious rethink of services, but in the next weeks, anything could happen. My son and I were going to Devon, arranged a year ago, it's an expensive treat and we've both been looking forward to it. Really don't know what to do now! If it's my life that has to be sacrificed so my other son survives to bring his 7 year old son up, then so be it. I just hope it doesn't come to that!!!
