    If I'm honest, she could probably do a bit more than she currently does. She has no active disease in her hands now, just some in her wrists. Her rheumatologist did ultrasounds yesterday. She has plenty of aids to protect her joints and there are plenty available. My dad is here, so he could do some of the things I do and my sister works part time, she could actually help.

    One of my worries is Talia. I can't take her with me to J's as she hates cats and J has a cat...

    I’m glad you’re not planning on caring for your mum. You’re moving forward with your life now and you need to focus on that. As you say, there are other options.

    WRT Talia, I know you took her on as there was no other option at the time so how do you feel about not having her in your life? I was thinking maybe it would be best if you looked for a good rescue centre that would find a new home for her. I know it sounds tough but if you don’t think she’ll get the care she needs with your parents, it could be your best option. Or, I don’t even know if they do it, but could you see if a centre would look for a home while she’s still living with you, sort of as a foster, and then she might not need to go into kennels
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
