Hi there
Dad has recently been told that the he has alzheimers and he doesn't want to acknowledge the fact. He wont take medication or indeed allow his doctor access to his home. Mum is also termailly ill with cancer and I am the only one looking after them. My brother doesn't want to know. I know that I'm not coping and its affecting my health. I have lots of panick attacks and find myself overeating because I don't know how to cope> My GP is very helpful and supportive but I feel very alone and I have to say very angry when dad is rude or horrible to me and then the guilt sets in.
