Hello Bel

Well done for doing something you've never done before -you took time out and went downstairs. I think that's great. Actually I think doing something different is brave and all of us on TP are doing very brave things at times. I'm just learning and Alan hasn't got to that angry/aggressive stage (don't know if he ever will) but Silvergoblin talks about all the stages her father has gone through. She talked about him having gone through the angry/aggressive stage so I gather it must be something that passes??!! It must be really horrible whilst it's present though (even more difficult for those that don't do anger anyway). Anyway, glad you managed to get that time out.

Love Helen

Hello Bel

there does come a point where we have to remove ourselves from particular situations, to regroup.
went down stairs i have never done it before
I used to walk 300 feet down the garden into the woods and just stand there for 10-15 minutes, often shaking. Sometimes I would phone someone from down there to get a grip on reality.

If it helps us, it helps them, so it is absolutely right to do it.

Dear Bel
"We talked about it later he needs a relaxant"

Does this mean Bob was asking for some extra help Bel? Have the medics suggested something like this to help Bob with his aggression?

I think you've done well to find a coping strategy which will help during the difficult moments. But it seems like a short term solution, do you need to consider other things for the medium/long term?
Hows the shop going? I hope your thumbs and hips are feeling better?
take care

Dear Bel

Well done for walking away, you did exactly the right thing.

But please ask for some help, either from your SW or from the doctor.

If Bob has started to be verbally aggressive, it's going to happen again, and you're not strong enough, sweetheart. Please ask for help.

Love and hugs,

Oh bel that`s awful.
You are being overlooked because you don`t complain loud enough. How can you be given morphine patches that dope you, when you have a business to run and are a full time carer for Bob.
You should ask the doctor that.
Love xx

Dear bel

Well done for being able to give the true picture, I know how difficult that was for you.

I'm sure the anti-psychotics will calm Bob down, and the good thing is that the consultant and CPN will have to monitor him more closely while he is on the drugs, so that you won't have to go through it all again.

I hope you'll soon be able to relax a bit.

Love and hugs,

Dear Bel

I am going through the aggression and verbal abuse (if am allowed to call it that) with my dad at present. Its really an awful situation to be in. A couple of weeks ago he pushed me out of the bungalow he lives in because I had had to take mum to see her specialist and he seemed to think I had taken her away from him.
When I got back to the house with mum he was still looking out of the front window and had indeed been there for the last couple of hours (looking for mum, his safety net).
As soon, as we pulled up outside, he ran down the drive, took mum really carefully into the house, came back and started shouting and hitting me because I had taken her away from him.
I was so distraught, I really didn't know what to do. I went into the house and he started again. So, off I went, yet, when I came back later he was dusting and thought I had only just got there! Mum was distraught, I was covered in bruises.
What a lovely life we lead!!!
Take care of yourself, I don't know if it will pass, but we have to have some faith!
Andrea
