Who cares for carers?
It’s natural to place your time, love, trust, money & energy into the person or people you care for. But is it selfish to think about yourself & make efforts to protect your own emotional & financial interests?
I say NO! Really, very loudly. I am not a carer but I am a parent. I draw few distinctions between caring for 3 children I have chosen to bring into this world against people like you who take on caring for someone else’s children, a partner or a family member with little or no time to consider & plan it. But I do feel passionately that as a carer of any type, you must look after & protect yourself before your look after anyone else. Without you running at 100% the person you care for suffers.
