And so it begins again.....
'I've been thinking about packing' she says.
'Where are you going?' Says I
'I need to go home' she says, 'it's time to move on, I'll go back to my mother and fathers' (dead for 30/40 years)
'You can't go today dear, there's no one to take you' says I
'But my father could come and get me'
.....and on it goes, her thinking she's in the past and me trying to dissuade and distract and downright lie to get past it.
I thought she'd stopped the 'going home' thing. We've had a good few days of none of it. She started memantine last week and I was hoping this might help, although I know it takes a while to kick in.
I have tears in my eyes just wondering how I can cope. Then I tell myself I'm being pathetic.
Will it ever end??
