Hi
I'm new to this but feel I need help. My mum was diagnoised with alzheimers 2 years ago. I reckon she has had it 7 years now. We were heart broken she was only 65 and my Dad was her main career she was breaking his heart. But last August suddenly my Dad suffered a massive stroke and passed away. My Aunt moved in to look after my mum but she is older and really not able. I have four young boys from 2 to 10 and My mum doesnt like being in my house or around them. She is bad enough to think she is in a new house forgets what happened in the morning. But then good enough to know if we were to move her. She got a place in a day centre and we went to meet them she came out saying dont put me in there. This broke my heart. Of course I couldnt then I really dont know what to do. It is really affecting my life but also my husbands and my childrens. She was the most adoring mum I love her so much we done everything together but now I just cant handle the person she is. I'm still heartbroken about my Dad who was only 66 I feel I lost both of them last August but still have to mind her. I feel there is no end to this torture. I cant plan anything as every day I have to make sure she is sorted. Its really getting me down. I might sound selfish but I cant go on like this and the children are definitely suffering.
