Their job is long, lonely and hard, yet there is limited support and no formal training. As a result, carers suffer frequent damage to physical and mental health. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOddly, though carers by definition are anything but selfish pigs, they are liable to feelings of guilt, probably brought on by fatigue and isolation. So Hugh Marriott has written this book for them - and also for the rest of us who don't know what being a carer is all about. His aim is bring into the open everything he wishes he'd been told when he first became a carer. And he does. The book airs such topics as sex, thoughts of murder, and dealing with the responses of friends and officials who fail to understand. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is a must-read for anyone involved with caring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hugh Marriott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0749929863\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780749929862\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little Brown and Co.
