H am very new to all this and often so exhausted trying to cope with all the problems having twp parents with dementia brings I just read posts. The TP has heplped me to realise tht i am not the only one-just feels like that very often.
Parents now in two separate Care Homes as my mother has gone into total denial about my father-maintains that he died in the war. Dad often does not recognise me- I would love to have them at home but my own health has suffered- cannot do it any more.... Sometimes it seems so hopeless- money problems now over caring fees.
This has been going on for ten years now - I am an only child: so lucky in many ways but this has taken over my life.
I am just so grateful for this forum- so many inspiring mesages. We all nee somewhere to go- help with the pressure. Should love to hear from some of you.
