Does "carer" disempower or stigmatise the person being cared for? Is the "carer" actually a support person, someone who has your back? "I don't think of her as a carer, she's my wife, I'd do exactly the same for her".
Likewise, is "carer" always the best way to refer to the person providing care and support, and is it a term they use or recognise about themselves? "I'm not a carer, I'm his mum."
