It eventually got to the point where we moved her to Ireland to live with my auntie because she was retired and had a big house with a spare room. The amount of stress that lifted off my mum was incredible.<br /><br /> I really would hate to be that much of a burden to any family member in future.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41283.17&return_msg=41283.16" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41283.17"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41283_18"></a><div class="message" id="message_41283_18"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Wattsy (SLAYERPUNX)<span class="message_time"> 4 Dec 2014 11:58</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Al JunioR (53NORTH) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 4 Dec 2014 14:18"></span></span> <span class="message_count">18 of 23</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41283.18">41283.18</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41283.1">41283.1</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Sorry to hear that mate.

But generally, just absolutely horrible in all ways for all concerned.
