I hope your dh recovers soon , it sounds exhausting for you both. I’m amazed how you have coped with this last year, your house guest sounded very challenging to put it politely! I hope you are taking care of yourself 🙂

Oh, Alchemilla, also sending you some hugs and TLC.

Thank you apple. I filled in my carer's passport at work today so they know in case things get worse.

Thank you! She was somewhat demanding haha. She's very happy now in her own place though.

Is it time sensitive?  And can you sign up for January but drop it later? 

Having rather been there and got several t-shirts with the study+work thing, I'd make sure you have a get out clause if things are looking complicated at home.

I would look to pause it. I'm sure there will be compassionate circumstances clauses. 

Hugs to you all. If you can get a decent counsellor perhaps engage with one sooner rather than later. You then get to vent, have a sounding board or whatever's needed along the way rather than trying to hold it altogether for everyone else. Ask for help. Lots of help. Pay for it if necessary. You need to find ways to make life easier for you and your family as you go through the hardest thing anyone can together.
