There's a phrase that partially explains the situation that you find yourself in :- "A boy grows up, gets married and becomes a husband; A daughter grows up, gets married and stays a daughter"! So, I think we can all understand the predicament that you find yourself in. As with all things MS, you can only do what you can do and when you can do it. And, you have to put yourself and your own family before your Mum. I know what you mean too about your husband going away from you. I have a similar situation with my wife. We might be the ones with MS, but it has a detrimental effect on the entire family unit. Have a read through these publications, http://www.mstrust.org.uk/shop/products.jsp?catid=47 , and see if they provide any advice and guidance.
