I have a brother with special needs. Our home has been adapted to meet his needs, and as the only other sibling I have always helped to care for him. I have always looked forward to him coming home, and never seen him in any way as a burden. I have been living in an apartment with my fiance for a number of years, and my mother, who is widowed, has cared for my brother during his home stays. She is quite frail and has struggled to provide him with safe care.
