My mum has alzheimers

[RoscoeMick]

My mum is dying of this awful desease but my stepdad wont let me see her..He has never liked me but to do this is absolutly destroying me..Can anyone give me any advice as i just dont know where to turn..I recently tried to ring him and he told me if i go to the house he will call the police..He even said its because of me she had the desease as he thinks her drinking heavily was the cause of it..I just dont know where or who to turn to..Thankyou

Hello @Michaelball1 and welcome to the forum but sorry that you are having such a difficult time trying to see your mum, it's so hard when family relationships break down. Has your step dad previously let you visit her? It sounds like he may possibly have some health issues himself and it might be helpful to contact adult social services in their area to let them know that you are concerned about your mum to see what they can advise. As this is quite a complex situation I'd suggest contacting the Dementia Support Line too as they are very knowledgeable and will hopefully be able to suggest a way forward for you.
