Hi This is my first post and i have a dilemma. My dad was diagnoed 2 years ago with vascular dementia. He tells everybody he has an anyerism which is causing his memory loss. He has never mentioned the word dementia and i simply cant work out whether he knows or not that he does have dementia but chooses to ignore it or genuinely beleives he has an anyuerism. It doesnt feel right telling him he has dementia but neither does not telling him. Is there anything to be gained by telling him the truth. If anybody can advise or has a similair experience i would really appreciate their views.
