Dads dementia is slowly getting worse. His forgetfullness etc are a big problem and mum is definately struggling with him at home in terms of communicating. She has had 40 years with a very intelligent man whom she could share many conversations with however now she doesnt have that communication and also struggles with how to deal with him now. For example this morning he complained his socks didnt fit any more so she said get another pair....which he did but put them on the kitchen table and forgot about them. Mum asked, when she saw the socks on the kitchen table, did he put those there for throwing out. He said i didnt put them there and she said yes you did so he got angry and shouted at her saying are you calling me a liar.... she is communicating with him as if he were still all there. Now my question is this...because mum comes from germany (ok it was over 40 years ago!) however she has made few friends here...my dad being her rock...and all her friends are in germany i feel she needs a local group where she can go and let of steam and learn new ways for dealing with him....are there such local groups and how do i find one in my area? Thankyou in advance
