I don't know where to turn. I am 63 years old and my OH is 10 years younger at 54. He has been showing signs of early onset dementia for about 12 months which is progressing. My OH refuses to acknowledge anything is different and refuses to talk. He also won`t go to the doctors as he "doesn't want to know the answer." I have told the doctor of my worries at my appointment but they can`t do anything until he goes to them, which he wont.
I have a 24 year old daughter (who has a 12 month old baby). She is also in denial that it is dementia and says she won`t believe it until an assessment proves it. She gets very angry and stressed and said I am misunderstanding signs and making a mountain out of a molehill.
I cannot talk to friends of family as OH would feel betrayed and probably never speak to me again. Again there is no proof. If anyone has any help or advice I would be very grateful.
