Question - (29 December 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 29 December 2010)
A female Australia age 41-50, *onfused76 writes:

I am in love with a *British male beauty pageant winner*. I am in Australia and I have known him for years but I am finding it very difficult because I know he is the one for me and he feels the same. The problem is that I am my Mum's full time carer and none of my 4 older brothers will help take care of her and I know they would just dump her in a nursing home if I leave and move to England. What should I do? do I give up the Man I love and forego happiness or do I move to be with him and leave my Mum to what I know my brothers will do with her. I am confused because these are the 2 people I love most in the world. I am 34 years old and very torn! Thankyou

largentsgirl89 agony auntIs he incapable of moving to Australia?

Have you talked to your mother about your current situation? I'm sure as your mom she would be more than understanding about you finding love and having to pursue that. It's hard taking care of a parent. I don't know if they have home care givers, nurses/cna's who come to a patients home and take care of them instead of having them go to a nursing home, perhaps that would be something to look into.

It astounds me that none of your siblings are helping you with the care of your mother, considering she is their mother as well.

Talk to your mom. Look into alternative ways of getting a trusted professional to come look after your mom, most insurance providers cover that expense. Talk to your guy about maybe moving down to Australia and if he can't, then i'm sure you guys can all work something out with your mom.

Good luck to you. And I think it's really awesome of you to take such good care of your mom, most children don't do that anymore.
