Hello again
My mum (81) has Alzheimer’s and will be officially told tomorrow, a concern as she has bad anxiety. She had a bad night last night, very agitated so my Dad (82) says. She won’t let me go to the appointment as I according to her interfere (more likely to tell doctor the truth). My Dad says, though we don’t really know whether she will or not have a carer come to the house, that she won’t have anyone I work full time and am the only member of family around. My brother lives in Tasmania. My Dad looks dreadful and won’t let me help, and my Mum is agitated when I visit as she thinks my Dad and I are always talking about her. I end up leaving so it doesn’t make it difficult for my Dad. I worry about what will happen if my Dad becomes ill from looking after her, as she will not be able to look after herself and I have no room in my house for her to stay and I could not go and live at there house as I still work. It is just one big worry for me and I don’t have the best relationship with them. Never been loving towards me. Some days it just feels overwhelming. Feel guilty can’t do more than I can do. Anyone have the same experience?
