hello I'm Diane and I'm new to all this. My mum has recently been diagnosed with early alzheimers- she is 79 she lives with my dad who is 88 almost blind and has kidney problems. I am an only one. She has always been so fiesty and in control but she has had a total personality transplant!! I got a phone call this morning at 2.15 she was in a terrible state I drove like a maniac to their house where she informed me my dad - who wouldnt hurt a fly had tried to strangle her and beaten her up!!! when I suggested she may have had a nightmare she went beserk. I have just got back home now after getting them both to go back to bed and will be going back shortly but I just dont know what to do - she is killing my dad and I hate her for that but I feel so guilty about feeling like that as I know she is ill but some of the things she is saying is so awful. Please can someone give me some advise on what to do or say I just feel so alone and useless my husband is very good but he feels inadequate coz he doesnt know what to say
