"Somehow my best can never feel good enough" - son Andrew talks frankly about his Mum's care

Available for over a year

Son Andrew talks about his guilt over how much care he gives his Mum Carolyn, saying "Somehow my best can never feel good enough". It's a subject a number of people have contacted him about. But this week, after a tense doorstep conversation with Mum's friend who lives next door, he discusses - frankly - his own feelings. He reflects on the fact that it's impossible to make care perfect, talks about how Carolyn cared for his late father and praises 'the care and the love of strangers' - the carers who look after Mum four times a day. Mum and Me: The Dementia Diary was originally broadcast on BBC Radio Leeds.
