Are you aware

Its carers week in the Uk . I do have quite strong views on many things but one of the things that is really close to my heart is young carers. Having been in a situation where my daughter of 6 had to fend for herself due to me being very ill. I have every admiration for those children out there who not only look after severly disabled or mentally ill parents but also run the house and look after their brothers and sisters. I recently saw a program, about a 16 year old who looks after her mum who has severe arthritis, and her younger sister who is autistic.
I feel that we severly let down these amazingly brave and in many cases overlooked children.
