Well done Darcy. You're doing it for us all. Recently I listened to a carer say that she feels treated like someone with no education, when in fact she has a masters degree in a relevant discipline.

Yes, got it, thanks. Will this whole conversation stay here for a while to allow my wife to read through it when she is available?

It’s been great to hear all about your experiences of feeling excluded from a loved one’s treatment journey and I hope there’s been some learning or wisdom you’ll take away with you from tonight’s discussion.
I’d like to say a special thank you to our guest @Lynne1 We've been lucky to have you host tonight’s discussion. Thanks for sharing your journey and experiences with the community 🌷
If you’d like to continue the conversation, you might like to create a new discussion topic to explore things a little further. If you’re interested in learning more about supporting your loved one, you might like to chat with a face to face counsellor for more information.

Thank you @Lynne1, @Former-Member and everyone else who participated. One thing I take away from this is that we are not alone.
