High Point of Week / A bit like a book club (carer support)

High point of the week:
I managed to attend a Carer’s Support Group. It was less formal than I feared. It was a bit like a book club, but without the books, and more emotional pain.
It didn’t feel too clichéd either. No Alcoholics Anonymous self-introductions and confession. “Hi I’m ___ and I struggle with trying not to murder the person I care for…” That’s a joke, people, a JOKE. Besides, she’s too busy trying to kill herself, to give me the pleasure. * snare drum *
Actually, I’m still at odds that I’m allowed to cash in emotionally on just looking out for my partner. It feels a bit wrong for lots of reasons, obvious to anyone who is used trying to put someone else first.
