My husband was diagnosed with dementia two years ago. Recently it has escalated to a point where I have needed lots of help. He’s becoming very abusive towards me and doesn’t know me sometimes. He’s having good days and bad. My daughter who isn’t in the best of health lives in Cheshire 250 miles away . Thank goodness for friends.
Hello everyone

A warm welcome to Dementia Support Forum @Dancing Queen 41. This is a very friendly and supportive place, so I'm glad you've found us.
Do make sure that you keep safe. Keep a phone on you at all times and have a place with a locked door you can go to if your husband becomes abusive. Don't hesitate to phone the police if needed. It sounds drastic but that way your husband will hopefully get the help he needs quickly.
It might be a good idea to phone the support line, they are open tomorrow and talk through ways you can get more help.
