Hello all

[Sue123]

Hi,Im Sue & my Mum has dementia.
She has had it for a few years now. For a long time she lived on her own but last year i split from my partner & realised it was best if she lived with me. We recently moved into our new house at the end of March.
She has carers come in the week & also meals on wheels. Twice a week she goes to a day centre.
Since ive been living with her,ive noticed how much dementia has taken her away from us all.
Pretty sure she is getting worse so i will welcome any support & advice from this forum.

Welcome to Talking Point. I don't know what I would do without Talking Point. I have had so much support and advice given to me since I joined and sometimes it is such a relief to just type a massive rant or off load worries, problems and fears, when you cannot talk to others about things.

I have bored family and friends crazy with the many problems over the years that alzheime's has brought to my door and I feel I have friends online that I can off load to any time. It is a massive relief.

I am basically quite a shy and private person but online I can spill everything out that I wouldn't normally have the guts to talk about. Hope you can do the same. xxxxxx

Thanks Jay. I often feel like having a rant. Im afraid i dont have much patience so find it hard dealing with my Mum. I always feel bad afterwards if ive shouted at her.
