Hello everyone, this is my first forum I’ve ever joined so hopefully I’ve done this right?
My husband is in the middle to late stages of dementia and up to now my daughter and I have managed to cope without any help. But his condition is quickly getting worse and I am finding I’m not coping. He says some very nasty things to me, tells visitors to get out of his house, follows me everywhere, wakes me up 3 or 4 times in the night, then last night I was woke up by a neighbour at 1.30am saying my husband was looking for me! He had gone out bare footed.
I know I need help but I have no idea where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou
