Hello! I would like peoples thoughts on how I can deal with my situation.
I am 41 and live with my parents. My dad was diagnosed with vascular dementia last September. A dementia nurse came and advised my parents on how to manage his lifestyle and care for himself. My Dad also has COPD and osteoarthritis. My Mum is his main carer. Since his diagnosis he has taken none of the advise from the nurse or rrom family.
He wont eat properly, he wont exercise and does nothing to stimulate hiself mentally.
He is rude and can be verbally agressive towards my mum and myself. My mum does everything for him which she doesn't need to do as he is still extremely capable!
Whatever advise I give to either of them is ignored
I am now at a point where I am getting angry and frustrated
Can anyone advise?
