Can anyone understand how i am feelng at the moment. Dad has just gone into a home last week. I have felt so depressed by this and have lost quite a bit of sleep, terrible mood swings and endless crying. Even though i feel that it was about 2 yrs ago that i came to terms with dads AD, just recently when i went to see him with mom at home i felt that i would go into their house and he would greet me as he used to prior to when he was ill. Because of this i am finding it hard to accept that he will no be coming home again. I went to visit him today and wanted to say to him, come on stop play acting, lets go home now, ive had enough of this dementia. Is this normal for me to be feeling like this? Or is it that i feel mom should have been able to cope with him longer at home. Though i know she was becomeing ill herself with the caring of him. He is in a nursing home. So i know he needs constant care. Anyone have any ideas about this? or am i just cracking up under the stress of the last week. Janet
