I may have won a battle but the war is still going

by Bobshouse on 30 Jul 2014, 19:50

Today I made some headway in getting care for my dear demented dad. I have been made promises before so cannot be sure yet. With the help of google I discovered the NHS now has dementia teams. I emailed the contact address and within hours was speaking to the team manager. She seemed to be on my side and has said she will help. I now have to wait. She will help with the difficult GP who will not agree to my dad having the memory assessment. When I think about it my overwhelming desire to move back to the UK started when my battle for care for dad began. That was also when I gave up on 5:2 and piled on the weight. Here I am with another crisis with dad and the same is happening. Only I can break this in the same way as only I am suffering! I am hurting myself and allowing it to happen. I know food is my comfort, something learned during a traumatic childhood. I know what I must do and just need to find the strength to do it.
Tomorrow I will fast because I cannot continue on this road of self destruction.

In for repair Monday, Wednesday and Friday
