Hello
@B Jowitt and welcome to this friendly and supportive forum from me also. There is a lot of shared experience of dementia to be found here, so I am glad you have found us.
Whoever made that remark to you - it was so uncalled for and I can only imagine the upset it has caused you. Please try to ignore it.
I hope you will find this forum useful for information, and any particular advice if you need it, do just ask, as members here really do want to help. You may want to start a thread in the following section of the forum.
This forum is for people who are involved in the care of a person with dementia.
