Hi I'm new to this group.
my mum has been diagnosed 4 weeks ago with dementia, although I have suspected since January there was something wrong with her.
My mum constantly says she has seen TV programme's before and has heard conversations, she gets really confused as she can't understand why she is seeing the same program over and over again and keeps saying "this isn't right this program shouldn't be repeated why is this? I agree with her every time she's saying this and I can't explain why they are repeating the same programme. I just wondered if anyone else has experienced these symptoms with thier parent?
She hasn't been well today with this feeling in her head and has begged my to stay with her, I've been told I need to pull away from her as she will just Constantly need me more and more, but how do i do this without feeling guilty? I see my mum everyday, ive come to the conclusion today I can't do this by myself and I've asked for help.
