Caring too Much
A couple of weeks ago I caught the tail end of an excellent program on Radio 4 which I’ve been meaning to share on here but caught it again last Monday quite by chance. Julie Fernandez who played Brenda the wheelchair user in ‘The Office’, is in real life an advocate for disability rights.
The programme Caring too Much, explores the complex relationship between disabled child and parent carer. It is certainly thought provoking and emotive and is a must for anyone facing these issues in the near future.
