Constant threats driving me insane

[uktoday]

The constant low level threats. Constant flitting between nice and aggressive. Constant threats of fists. Constant repetition. It's driving me insane. Care homes won't have him because of the aggression. On various medication to calm him but it's not worked in the last few days. Any ideas welcome!!

Hi @uktoday Sorry no suggestions but I am sure that you do not have to put up with the threat of violence. That is really too much to have to cope with.

I am sure that somebody else will read your post soon and hopefully have some useful suggestions for you. Do keep posting and I hope you have as pleasant a day as is possible.

No answers really, except to talk to gp about the medication and also find a room/space that is all yours, where you can go for a break. I had two such places, an outbuilding in my garden and my bedroom with a lock just so mum could not follow me around and continually bombard me with chatter.

No. You do not tolerate this. What do SS, GP say? Who is helping you? This is getting to be a safeguarding issue - keeping YOU safe. Please say more when you can. Gxx

As has been said, you should not have to put up with aggression.

In the hope that there is something in it that will assist you, here’s a link to an AS Factsheet on the issue https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/sites...ctsheet_dementia_and_aggressive_behaviour.pdf

Thanks for all these messages.

We have docs coming next week now for an assessment.

I feel that it may be time for dad to be sectioned as we are at wits end. Behaviour has calmed but personal care is at crisis now. Have tried everything. Literally everything.
