Sinopsis
Six million people in the UK provide unpaid care for disabled or elderly relatives or neighbours. Their job is long, loney and hard, yet they are largely unnoticed and there is limited support and no formal training. As a result, carers suffer frequent damage to physical and mental health. Oddly, though carers are, by definition, anything but selfish pigs, they are prone to feelings of guilt, largely brought on by fatigue and isolation. Author Hugh Marriott, himself a long-term carer, has written this book for them. His aim is to bring into the open everything he wished he had been told when he first thought of becoming a carer. The book airs such topics as sex, thoughts of murder, coping with incontinence, and dealing with the responses of friends and officials who fail to understand.

Acerca del autor
Around the time symptoms of Huntington's Disease began to appear in their lives, Hugh and Cathie Marriott sold their house, bought a sailing boat, and embarked on what was to become a nine-year voyage of discovery. By the time Cathie could no longer get in or out of their small dinghy or safely clamber on board their boat, they had visited 40 countries and sailed almost the whole way round the world. After moving ashore again Hugh settled down to write about the experiences of both parts of the voyage. In this book he describes the reasons for setting sail, the difficulties of adjusting simultaneously to a new life and the onset of a debilitating disease, and the responses of the people they encountered in other boats and other lands.
