Primary carers - we need 3 EACH

One thing I learned in my life is that we need multiple choices - from questions to answers in everything in order to be precise and get to the root. Carers can be very bitter, feeling betrayed by their own are truly suffering as they have sacrificed their own life, for a 'dutiful' life of  a 'living death' in some cases -they gain huge sympathy from powerful people -  but there is no thing to look forward to, no relief, no release. All there is is to develop anger, hate, sadness, frustration as they are expected to be strong from 'duty'. Couple of things come to mind. Carer's aren't always nice. Sometimes ASPD like Jamie's dad. Sometimes they are great but have no real respite. Things haven't changed in 30 years.The trapped feelings they experience make the guilt vibes much worse and strengthen negative resolve. Fuck excess sacrifice, it hurts people.  Care home abuse is still happening - we need to note that despite great staff, care homes are still reported to be 'not fit for pigs'. Policy at the top has to change and fast.
