Hiya everyone, I came across this site through browsing the web, I am from Manchester in the UK, a year ago we found out that my dad who is only 59 has alzheimers, apprantly he has had it for a few years, he has been put on medication but this does not seem to be helping.
I live away but go home to see my parents every weekend to help out,(i only live an hour away), each time i see my dad i see a change in him, he is like an old
man, stoops over when he is walking, drags his feet and his left arm just seems to hang down,it breaks my heart to see him struggle with simple things, my mum loses patience with him and takes over, which i think sometimes she should stand back and only step back if it really looks like that he cannot do it,
What really hurts is that my dad pushes me away when i go to cuddle up to him,I am sorry for rambling on here but i am really finding it hard to come to terms to this horrible disease,i feel angry with it, is this normal for me to feel this way?
