I would have loved to have been there last night, but I can't do anything like this at home with him there.

However, I've read through most it now, instead of working, and not much of it was new to me or really very helpful... possibly because I'm in such a bad mood about it all.

"be patient" "be understanding" "look after yourself" "set realistic goals"... I read stuff like that and at the moment it just makes me think that I'm doing it all wrong if coping with him and helping him mend is that effing easy.

The light at the end of the tunnel is a freight train barrelling toward me in a perpetual mixed state.

grrrrrrrr
