Sue shares words summarising the extensive challenges and stress she and her brother have faced while caring for mum and dad.

Despite being qualified to understand and navigate the care system, they have struggled to get needed respite and support services from Norfolk County Council over three years.

The constant responsibility has severely impacted their mental health, relationships, and personal well-being. They describe the complexities of managing healthcare needs, navigating insufficient and inconsistent support from care agencies, and the toll it takes on their daily life.

It has improved and whilst it is better than it was they it is a struggle to maintain their own health and balance.
