    Hi tigger and welcome to Talking Point.

    Just post about anything that concerns you or any observations or questions. There are bunches of people here who will be happy to give you support.

    Take care

    Welcome to TP Tigger. My mum has dementia too and it's been hard these last few years but with the help of TP friends I've faced it all and come out smiling. Look after yourself. You are important too xx
