My Dad has had Dementia for about 3 years. He lives alone until now.
I am his only son with my own family. My life feels so empty and this is not me. I work full time. I have two beautiful kids but I am alone.
Dad went wondering and ended up in Epsom hospital. Two weeks later he was released. I am staying with him and finding it extremely difficult. I miss my family who are 30 mins away by car.
I have learned that because he is over the threshold he will have to self fund. He owns his house. I feel angry that his house maybe taken away. He worked all his life. My mum died when I was 12. He brought me up.
I see nothing positive and I feel so sad. Some days Dad can't remember my name. If I take him to see his grandchildren oldest being 10 Dad thinks he is at his place and is strict with them. I can't take him home anymore. My 10 year old is so so upset.
I have thought about house trusts. I have estates agents coming to see if his monthly income and rental income will pay for his care. I am hurting inside and want this to end.
So empty, so alone. I have had to go sick just so I can arrange something. I try to remain positive. I am so so sad to see dad not being my dad and I am physicality and mentally getting ill and I am only young...
