Same here. Family was in denial for a long time. One member is still in denial. Has visited 5 times in 3.5 years and thinks that they have a better understanding of the situation then myself, who has been carrying for that amount of time. I was called a ventriloquist for "manipulating" my relative with dementia to forget them. Yup... because that is how dementia works... *rolls eyes*
In the last 3.5 years I have lost all will and patience with everyone. I have lost friends, my hair, my memory, i suffer from anxiety and depression and I have ended up twice in A&E, first time because my immune system stopped working and the second time for chest pains.
I am so sorry to hear this AngelZ ☹️
I have to say I understand your situation only too well. I haven’t been on these forums for at least a year, my health having suffered badly while caring for my mum (who is now in a nursing home).
All I can say is that as Carers we really do need to try to take care of ourselves. Pickles says it better than I can....but I know only too well how hard it is.
Sending you hugs
