If having Mum with AD was bad enough, the friction between my parents due to Mums memory is worse.
Knowing what I know about dementia, I do think my Dad may have MCI or FTLD but nothing diagnosed of course, as his memory is generally good.
But boy he has no understanding, concept or acceptance of Mums condition what so ever.
Compassionate communication, especially the " don't argue, don't try to reason" is beyond him.
Dad blames Mum for something, she blames him. He says... She says.... !
If something has been lost he has Mum looking all over the house for whatever it is , and sending her in a right state, when it maybe something that has been given to me for safekeeping, but he won't check with me first.
I really don't think Dad can handle much more as it is, and Mum is at breaking point with Dads foul moods.
