I entered this #Curae I didn’t say anything as I’m scared of the rejection. As a career to elderly parents, I am awash with emotion today. I feel suffocated, I feel guilt, I feel sad, I feel fucking pissed off. Plus I’m battling my own health. This is not a pity tweet. I hope. ♥️

Unsure whether you can enter? All the info you need is on the site, but briefly now, we are using the NHS definition of carer; at its broadest, looking after someone who could not manage without your care; an unpaid role. Needs to be current #Curae #carers #WritingCommunity https://twitter.com/BookwormVaught/status/1616769964437868546

I’ve entered this brilliant opportunity! #iamwriting #curae #care #carers #livingwithelderlyparents
