Hi all
I’m new to the forum and this is my first post.
My mum who lives with me has just been diagnosed with dementia. She has been exhibiting signs of dementia for the last 18 months but refused to go the doctors.
I am registered disabled and I am really struggling to look after her and don’t know where to turn. I feel really guilty that it’s not coming easy to me. She is really nasty and can be aggressive and confrontational.
Social services have been informed and I am expecting a visit to discuss her care. I don’t think she’ll get any help because she has some savings which means she would have to pay for additional care, which she won’t agree to because she doesn’t think she has a problem. I’m at my wits end, I can’t sleep from all the stress.
Any advice would be really welcome
Kindest regards
