Don't worry. I worded it like that too. And I have to remind myself it's not Dad.
It's so hard when it looks like him & sounds like him isn't it?
I'm a lot older than you but I still say I want my dad back!

I know this is a long time after you posted your original post but I'm fourteen and my Dad has frontotemporal dementia too. He was diagnosed about four years ago but it's only in the last few months that I've noticed drastic changes in his behaviour.
I'd love to get in touch with you because, despite being able to talk a bit with my brothers and Mum, I never feel able to bring up with my friends.
Sometimes at school I feel so different and distant from them...

Sorry it's been so late for me to reply to you! I would love to be able to talk to you as well! I feel the same at school because no one understands how difficult everything is! My Dads been diagnosed for just shy of a year (1 year on the 18th) but he's had it a lot longer than a year I would probably say around 3-4 years.
My Dad has been diagnosed for 4 years now and at first I didn't see any changes but he's at point now where it feels like he's getting worse everyday.
Hi Izzy hope you're ok?
