I fell in love with my caregiver, and she fell in love with me. I don't think it is wrong. Love is love. But she is being forced into a corner to either give up her job or finding another patient. I think this is very wrong. She's a fantastic care giver.

hi schiz ...

i understand when you say love is love. it happens, we're all only human and can't choose who we fall in love with.

however, from a professional point of view, i can understand why she is being faced with the choice she is. these rules are in place to protect vulnerable clients from predatory carers, who unfortunately do exist. that's why the rules are made clear to someone when they take on the job.

i'm not saying your love for each other is wrong, just that from a professional point of view she must have known what the outcome would be. if she truly loves you she will either give up the job or find another patient.

sorry if this sounds blunt, it's not meant to be.

Im so sorry to hear this, it is very unfair but i guess they have to protect the patients as Carrie said, but you are both consenting and are adults so i think it seems unfair for them to do this to you both, could you not contest and say that changing care giver at this stage would damage your healing?
