My dad has had a series of strokes over the past year. He had no lasting physical disabilities but it has affected his mental state and his stroke nurse has said he's showing early signs of dementia as he keeps repeating himself within minutes. The last two weeks though have been exhausting as he keeps accusing me of things such as planning to put him in a home (I'm not) and tells me to stop treating him like a kid, but he won't explain how I'm doing that. I try to change subject but he gets really angry and keeps shouting at me over and over repeating the same things then sulks. Then a few hours later he's back to being like a normal person and you wouldn't think there was anything wrong. He's always had a bit of a nasty streak but everyone else thinks he's such a lovely man because he's all jokey and funny with them but at home he turns nasty and always goes to bed in a sulk and has my mum in tears where he keeps accusing her of stuff. Mum and dad live with me and I work from home and do as much as I can for them but I end up crying on my own most nights because I feel so alone and feel sorry for my lovely mum. Even writing this the tears are flowing.
