Six million people in the UK, often unnoticed by the rest of us,
provide unpaid care for disabled or elderly relatives, friends or
neighbours. Their job is long, lonely and hard, yet there is
limited support and no formal training. As a result, carers suffer
frequent damage to physical and mental health. Oddly, though carers
by definition are anything but selfish pigs, they are liable to
feelings of guilt, probably brought on by fatigue and isolation. So
Hugh Marriott has written this book for them - and also for the
rest of us who don't know what being a carer is all about. His aim
is bring into the open everything he wishes he'd been told when he
first became a carer. And he does. The book airs such topics as
sex, thoughts of murder, and dealing with the responses of friends
and officials who fail to understand. This is a must-read for
anyone involved with caring.
