Hi My mum was diagnosed with alzheimers about 18 months ago. Told me things could be ok for a few years. I have seen a deteriation in mum since January. Took her back to the clinic and they said there was only a slight difference from a year ago. Really? the last 24 hours i think i have been to hell and back. Mum has done a runner 3 times, been nasty and swearing at me and my dad. Says she wants to commit suicide and be with her son. she even raised her fist to me tonight which mum has never done. Had to involve the police tonight as she walked for miles very distressed with me following her and even stood near a cliff top edge and went to climb over a wall to jump in to the sea to drown. How do i help her? how do i stay in control? Who do i ask for help from? And am i going mad myself in thinking shes getting worse?
Any advice would be great, im at my wits end and feel im failing my mum
