As most of you know MIL has lived with us for 3 1/2 years now. We are managing most of the time. OH and I are on citalopram to help us cope. It does help. We hope we will keep her with us for as long as possible as she adores her son and thrives on seeing him all the time and would like her to live with us to the end. Our lives are completely changed but we have adapted to her constant changes even through the psychotic episodes when she is manic for more than 48 hours when none of us get any rest or sleep.
My issue is why why do family and some friends keep telling us to 'stick' MIL in a care home? They are not looking after her and I do try to not moan. I now only moan occasionally as we are quite settled into the dementia journey
When people keep advising us to stick her into a care home raise my anxiety to unbelievable heights
Why why?
