Hello. Not sure what to do. Father has alzheimers but He is Verbally And Physically aggressive to Mum Who Is His carer.
He isn't THAT forgetful at moment but his mood swings can be very aggressive. I live away from home and I am worried for her safety. Not sure what to do or what I should do.
Mum does EVERYTHING. We know there is help out there but he thinks there is nothing wrong with him. Even the mention of dementia and he will fly into a rage so we cannot get respite care because it wouldnt be worth a week of violence and threats afterwards.
Considering getting him committed but that breaks my heart to think of him in a mental hospital.
I really don't know what to do. Any advice or knowledge would be appreciated.
