Totally agree.:D

Totally agree. They may turn up for the funeral but only if it suits them. If there is no money in it then I very much doubt it.

I hate to say it but she now thinks she is in her house with her husband. You are either the other woman or the paid slave.:eek:

I really feel for you as you will always be wrong whatever you do....

I would have just plonked the tea by her and not said a word. Mum can't make any choice so asking her made her upset.

It sounds as if your Mum wants to pick fights and your Dad is playing into...

I have just been catching up on your threads. How are things now?

I am not medically trained but I understand that it is instead of NOT as well as far as the NHS is concerned.

Here is the Alzheimer's society leaflet on the subject.

Are you very sure your Mum has not already had a breakdown? That humming does sound as if she is very stressed and its is a coping system. For the Dr to say straight out No Way then something big...

Been there, bought the T shirt about a year or even less ago. If I could have got her to the carpark I would have run over her. She was in a mean mood and beat me up for all her short comings. It...

Calling 999 will also get to the attention of SS as I understand the Police have to fill out a report and pass it to SS everytime they are called out in similar situations.

When we told Mum that a relative had cancer she just wanted to know where they would be buried- after that nothing was said.

Mum has AD

We can't even get Mum assessed for the first time. We are told that they will get around to it when they have the staff. I think that they are hoping she will be gone by the time they turn up.

You also need to think about how many of you it will take to look after him. While it may seem ok at the moment what happens when he is not sleeping and walks around all night? Your wife will need...

If he has all those medical conditions it will be up to the person giving the anaesthetic to make the final decision. They may not want to risk it.

I would suggest that she has also lost her long term memory so that these people who come to see her are no different to those that look after her most of the time. She will know you as family or...

I would feel exactly as you do. Even though we know that it isn't them it feels like they have raised two fingers to us and left the relationship.

I am so very sorry that you have to put up...

I really share your sadness.

I have often found something that I thought Mum would really enjoy as it was of great interest to her before the illness. It hurts so much when you arrive with the...

There is a phrase the Americans use - Random Act of Kindness aka RAK. I received one myself many years ago and to this day I don't know who sent it to me but I still have a warm feeling inside

You SIL has walked in your shoes or ones very similar. She understands and supports you - what a wonderful woman.

If it rained MIL would panic and heaven help when we had snow. It was as though she was going to never see anyone ever again and would starve to death. We would get endless conversations about it. ...

Hi

There was a similar question on here earlier. Perhaps some of this might answer a few questions. If your Mum still has mental capasity then you need her to sign another LPA as the old one will...

I have only got a vague idea of costs and I might be way off but I seem to remember it was about £150 to draw it up and then £200? to get it through the courts but that was a few years ago. Whynot...

I understand and it seems like a type of torture. Mum used to wake me up when I had nodded off after looking after an ill child in the night. She told me it was selfish to sleep when I should be...

I have been thinking and it might be best to pay for the solicitor to sort out the LPA. This way you have an impartical third party who can go to court to say your Mum knew what she was doing. You...

It might be worth trying to find out if he has taken her to see her solicitor.

I am going to bump this thread so others will see it.

I thought that small vessel disease was just another way of saying vascular dementia?
