Hi WobblyJow, you might take a look at the diary examples in the Guide. They could give you Mum some ideas of wording to use, while changing it from 'I' to 'He', that might read a bit differently. She can actually do a diary about the help she gives you and/or that you need but she can't give you. A diary I did about our daughter seemed to carry a lot of weight - she could not manage to do her own due to her several conditions which showed up clearly in what I wrote.
Please don't be discouraged about apparent duplication, the facts are the facts.
Best wishes, regards to your Mum,
Denby
