Hello
My Mum has dementia. She lives alone but I am only two minutes drive from her. Her behaviour is getting worse. She is constantly phoning me (except when I'm at work. I drive for a living and am out of touch then). She is sometimes aggressive and is always accusing me, my wife or my brother (who works away and comes home at weekends) of stealing her money. We aren't I should add. We find it hideen in drawrs, jars, clothes. All over the house in fact.
I am at the end of my tether. No matter how many times we tell her and show her her money the calls and accusations don't end.
She has been diagnosed and a CPN involved but she cannot be given any treatment because she lives alone and cannot be monitored. She won't go into care. Suggesting it makes her more angry.
Please help me I feel as if I cannot cope for much longer.
