Love mum
I arranged the transport for mum for Monday 11am and was told I can go with her. I can’t wait to see her, I hope she will be happy in her new place. I keep thinking how vulnerable she is now and how much I want to protect her. Nothing else matters now. Forget the…

Private care home
The private care home looked a bit like a hotel, slightly over the top and much better than any care home I’ve ever seen in the UK (and I’ve seen a few). I was slightly reluctant after seeing that and also it’s in the middle of nowhere, but then I think a lot of care…

Feeling hopeless
I sneaked into mum’s care home today around lunch time (door is never locked) as there was no one in the hallway. I had some bits and pieces for her but I also wanted to see her. I just said ‘this is for you’ and was just about to leave when she asked ‘how much…

Universal credit
So I had my UK Job Centre appointment over the phone and I found out that if I’m out of the country for over 28 days my claim will be stopped. It doesn’t seem very fair, if I went to sort out the same situation to another town in the UK my benefits wouldn’t be…

Two nurses
I spoke with two nurses from mum’s care home and they both told me I don’t necessarily need to move mum, she’ll have a good care where she is and her money can be spent later on something else. But I feel bad about keeping it. It’s not mine. I can’t spend it knowing my…

11.30am – can’t go this way
I am in to Piotrków Trybunalski. I came here to check my mum’s bank account as power of attorney has already been registered. So the good thing is no more money has been stolen, mum has enough for 4 years of a private care home (if I add her pension) but POA doesn’t allow me…

5.41am thinking long term
I believe I mentioned a few times that we, autistics, need to learn how to think long term but I feel like this is quite difficult. I participated in an email interview a few days ago for another website and I was told yesterday that it will be published on 21st of September. And I…

19.43 – I’m not a masochist
I did state a few posts ago that doing tax return is compulsory in Poland. It turned out it’s a bit more sophisticated than that. Mum’s tax return was done by ZUS, the government pension and insurance agency. However, if she did it herself (or, in her case, with a help of a trusted friend),…

18.25 – I called mum!
I got enough courage today to call my mum. I felt really strange after I last tried to speak with her and she wasn’t replying. That put me off of calling her for good couple of days. Mum was really alert today which is obviously good. She wanted to know the truth about my brother…

14.55 – keep walking, you may get somewhere one day
I left the hostel at 9.20 to get to the police station by 10. Only during my investigation two other people called regarding the same case. The policeman said that if bank don’t take responsibility this may take more than a year to sort out. Police station is close to my mum’s care home so…
