Hi Val and welcome to the TP family.
I have been amazed since I joined at how supportive everyone is. My MIL has vascular dementia and alzheimers and we have just moved so that she can live in an annexe with us.
Some days are easy and some days I too feel like banging my head against a brick wall
. We all struggle to cope at times, you are most definately not alone.
Coming here allows you to rant if you feel like it and no one will judge you. I also find it helpful asking questions as there is usually someone around who has experience of whatever it is you need to know.
I look forward to seeing you around the site.
Love & Hugs

Hello Val,
Yes, this is a wonderful site. The compassion, care and support which you will receive is really second to none. Everyone here is on their own journey, at varying stages. Finding this site also made me cry. I am quite certain there will be other members along shortly who have been, or still are, in your situation. Lx

You're not alone
Hi Val
I like you are new to this, I logged on yesterday for the first time and quite frankly can't keep off. My gran has also been diagnoised with vascular dementia recently and on Sunday went into a care village.
This site is a godsend and makes you realise your not the only one to be going through such a terrible chapter in your life. The illness is horrible for the sufferer and the loved ones, but I have come to terms with cherishing the good days and working through the bad ones, and taking each day as it comes.
Thought are with you, the help and support from others is a great comfort.

Welcome Val, I know exactly how it feels to realise you are not alone. This place is priceless xxxx
Hello Val,
I found this web-site by chance a few months ago.
It has been such a support to me and helped me understand my mum's condition. I only wish I had found it sooner, I feel I could have been more understanding to my mum if only I had known then what I know now.
I hope you continue to visit TP and it gives you as much comfort as it has me.

So sorry that your mum has been diagnosed with this awful disease. I'm sure that we can all understand you wanting to bang your head on a brick wall - you're not alone!
The only thing I can say is that you have to try to take each day - one day at a time. Or even one hour at a time, sometimes.
It's so difficult to deal with.

Welcome Val - Sorry about your Mom. I also do have VaD. Mine is early onset I am 59. Although I am probably knowing more of how your Mom is feeling at times than you, I am sure she feels very bad about not being the kind of Mom she really still wants to be for you. I think it is so great for you to seek out support and understanding of her illness. Best of luck to you both. Have a Blessed Day. Vickie
