Its been a while since I posted anything and Dementia is progressing as it always does I guess. What I did want to ask fellow carers is, has anyone been accused of 'stealing' from their relative/friend with dementia? We have and despite countless hours spent reassuring that the item will turn up (yes it does eventually) there seems no let up for us. Mostly its everyday things which always end up having been misplaced but occasionally its stuff that we have never seem or heard of, certainly nothing that was ever in our family home. I reckoned this was due to the regression of Dads memory, recollection of his childhood and tenets is crystal clear but he can't remember yesterday.
So, if you've been accused you will understand how it feels and I would value your opinion and suggestions on how to take this forward.
