Hi everyone, I'm the daughter of a mother with advanced dementia. This os my first post and I'm glad I found a space to share my feelings with others who have am understanding of this journey. Things are a little tough at the moment for my Dad who is her full time carer, and for me to see how my Mum is deteriorating. One of the things that I find quite upsetting is how close friends on my parents have disappeared. I know this can be a common reaction of some people but it doesn't hurt any less. Recently a good friend, or who I thought was a good long term friend of my Mum and Dad passed by my parents house in her car and my Dad saw her look away when she was driving my pretending not to see my Dad. This type of behaviour is thoroughly disappointing. I am very tempted to make contact with this person and tell them how dissapointed in their behaviour I am, but it probably won't do any good. How do others deal with this type of behaviour?
