Attempts to improve my houehold's financial situation, including embarking on higher education courses, have been met with comments such as 'you are not allowed' (to be in full-time study - sic); hardly supportive of my situation. I agree entirely with the comments and feel trapped by emotional blackmail and financial constraints.

They struggle through life not only financially but also emotionally, physically & mentally.
They're not supported enough for the good that they do, by local authorities or the government.
If these people were not around there would be an economic and social breakdown which would affect the UK very seriously so the government need to learn to appreciate these people more and show their gratitude & support in a more affective way.

Who can afford to give up a good job to get the princely sum of £50.55 to care for an elderly relative. Consider also, the older the carer gets, the chances of returning to a well paid job virtually disappear, especially as the majority of carers are female.
