I am worried about my mum, she is 75 and has been showing worrying signs for past year or so. All started at a football match my son played in he scored we celebrated and two minutes later she asked if there had been any goals. She constantly repeats herself, asks the same questions and sometimes repeats the question before you have finished answering. In the supermarket she puts things in her trolley and then doesnt remember putting them in there or she bys a plant or new top and at the end of the day insists the items arent hers. She has always been a loving very caring mum but I find her to be very cold and uncaring at times.. She has a history of depression and has had therapy for this (it stems from an abusive childhood). My father is very much a bury his head in the sand person and refuses to get her to see the gp or speak to him himself he just says he can cope. I did manage to speak to her gp and got her there on the pretext of it being a meds check up but the gp did nothing now I have been told my father is next of kin and gp won't do anything unless it comes from him or Mum but she is not the easiest person to persuade to go to the Doctor. I am at my wits end and feel very much on my own and not sure who to turn too now. Any advice would be great
