Re: The injustice of a system that penalises carers
Tue 2 Sep 2008 16:03It was interesting, and having read it , thought who will actually take any notice of it. Only sadly other carers. The PM and David Cameron earn enough money to pay for private care. It doesnt make having a child to love and care for any easier in the mental state , but financially they are able to pay for good one to one care if they required it. Maybe for that reason they see caring differently. Take away their money, put them in a small home with rent , bills food and heating to provide, and give them what we as carers receive, then maybe they would realise. But it is never going to happen. We dont live in a fair world, and the only consolation is that no matter how bad our circumstances are then there is always somebody worse of. These are the people who need help too and never get it. We have to just get through one day at a time and live in hope thats all that keeps most of us going lets face it.
