[QUOTE="Seacrow, post: 2370809, member: 420515"] Oh dear. Your Mum's stroke is not your fault. If you hadn't been there, if you'd gone shopping or out for the day, no one would have phoned 999 and your mum could be worse, or even dead. Again, you did not make your mum diabetic. Her body has a metabolism that has started to go wrong, probably programmed in in her genetic code. I can see that you might think you controlling her diet means your choices pushed your mum towards diabetes. This just isn't true. Her eating is her choice, as seen by the situation now where she is refusing to eat the new diet. Most importantly, get help. My mother blamed me for starting/triggering her Multiple Sclerosis. What did I do? I was born, and being pregnant with me was the trigger. It has taken me years and lots of talking to really accept its not my fault, and she was wrong to blame me. I needed mental health help, and I think you do too. Your mother's health status is not your fault. I think you are an amazing person for being willing to be a carer for your mum, and if it's been a constant nine years it's no surprise that you need some respite. [/QUOTE]
