Hi I av only joined tis forum n I really don't no wer 2 start. I just no I ned some support from people who understand. My mummy was admitted 2 hospital 13 wks ago n has just ben discharged. I ad 2 fight 2 get her into a psychiatric unit as she was so confused, aggressive, frustrated n nt talkin ne sense. The consultant was putin it down 2 bipolar but I felt it was more than this. My 4th baby was only 7wks old wen I brought my mummy 2 hos screaming n shouting. Wen my baby was born I ad 2 av a section wer the surgeon discovered my womb was paper thin n said it was a miracle tat we ad both survived. Wen I told my mummy tis she basically said I was tlkin rubbish n tat if baby Jesus could b born n a manger then ther was fxxk all wrong wiv me. She also made rude comments wen i was breastfedin n didn't show ne empathy 2 my feelings. I av ben saying 2 the hos tat I am convinced she has dementia and last wk her consultant finally agreed with me, however they won't properly diagnose it 2 she has her pet scan, which she is on a waiting list for. My mummy stil nos a lot of things like who we al are n wer she is etc, but her concentration is terrible n she 4gets avin conversations, 4gets 2 eat n wash herself. I am also up against my brother who doesn't find much wrong wiv her but I tink he's n denial. Sometimes I fel like I'm goin crazy. I no she is nt the same person, she hasn't a clue about her bills n income which I av ben lokin after for her n she was always good with these. A few wks ago we wer n the car n I came bac frm paying for petrol n drove of, nxt ting her door flys open n she almost falls out, n couldn't rem openin it n takin her seat belt of. I just can't wait 2 she gets tis pet scan

Hi yojo. so sorry u are goin through a hard time . It sounds like you need some help from your GP. Y ou cannot do it on your own especially with small children. Your brother sounds as though he is in denial at the moment. Keep posting on TP and you will get more help and advice because we all know and understand what you are going through. Thinking of you love Lady G xxx

I`m sorry you are so worried about your mother. Have you any idea how long she will have to wait for the scan?

I would keep pushing for it to be brought forwards as it sounds as if your mother is at risk to herself and to others, especially if she is opening car doors while the car is in motion. This could cause such a nasty accident.

Please let us know what happens.

Tank u Lady g n Grannie G. She was suppose 2 av her scan n April as an npatient but her consultant says it was moved bac cause list is so long, so ned 2 kep torturin them. Ano I fel tat she is a risk 2 herself n others but every time I say tis people look at me as if I'm mad, cause at times she is able 2 hold a conversation. Wev never ad a great relationship but she says tings like she wishes I'd never ben born n she can't tolerate my kids at the min. Wen ther playin n bein noisy she cracks up n says tat I nev should of ad them, she even refused 2 go shoping wiv me 2day unles I left my 2 yr old n the house, n tis was never the way my mummy got on. I no it's her illnes but as u no yourself it's just so hard 2 ignore sometimes n she really doesn't see how much u r doin for her. Tanks for listening it's nice 2 get it of my chestx
