Hi All
I've just joined the forum in the hope that someone on here can point me in the right direction or at least share their experiences, please.
I've given myself the username 'Nice Debbie' as that's who I am when my mum recognises me. When I'm trying to get help or benefits etc, I'm the 'Not So Nice Debbie'. There are at least three versions of my poor stepdad and they are all constantly in the dog house, especially for 'pretending' to be her husband. I've tried to get advice from her GP about what we can do or say to try and help mum accept that there is only one me and one Mic, but the GP only referred her back to the memory clinic who simply phoned the other day to confirm she does, indeed, believe there are multiple strangers in her house. We're waiting for their letter!
I can't get an appointment with the GP until 6 June, so I've decided to try and connect with a community who've been through dementia with their loved one and may have some tried and tested hints and tips.
Thanks in advance.
Debbie
