'Allen' from Staffordshire called 麻豆社 Radio Stoke's Stuart George to share his story of caring for his 100-year-old mother, who has dementia. Saying 'I have absolutely no freedom at all', he wanted to highlight the impact on carers who don't have a strong relationship with the family members who they look after. In an emotional and frank conversation, 'Allen' says that he'll only be released from 'this hell', when his mother dies.
