Hi everyone.
I'm looking for a bit of advice, I have another thread going about my dad (Crisis Point after nine days in a care home). But I thought I should post this separately.
My dad is in a care home, his second care home in just 5 weeks, the first one didn't work out. A couple of weeks ago when I visited dad, he started telling me over and over that he loved me, that he wanted to kiss me and that he wanted to take me to bed and have a sex with me, I think he thought I was his wife. Yes very cringey. At first I thought it was quite funny and I thought it just might be a one off.
Well apparently not, nearly every time I visit dad now in the care home, at some point he starts telling me loves me and starts acting inappropriately.
I am hoping I am not the only one this has happened to as I would like some advice on how to deal with it, as it's beginning to put me off from wanting to visit dad. Today I only stayed 20 minutes as I couldn't cope with it any longer and when I left I tried to give him a hug goodbye, but he tried kissing and groping me. I have tried telling him I'm his daughter, he's my dad, but he just says I can't be your dad. I've also tried mentioning my husband, but then this upsets him as he thinks I'm leaving him for another man.
Help please?
Thanks.
