My mum

[GennyWren]

Hi all. Newbie here.
Found this forum whilst looking for advise about a legal issue.
My mum has vascular dementia, diagnosed around 2019, and now lives with my brother and his girlfriend and her daughter. A lot has happened, suffice to say my brother I don't get on and I've been left feeling confused and don't know which way to turn .. and I miss my mum.
So hoping I can get some answers in this forum. Thank you.

Thank you @Gosling .

Knowing that there is support in forums like this is reassuring. I don't actually do the caring for my mum .. and that's one of the issues. It's a long story which I'm still not sure I can fully share yet. But I have put up my first post so hopefully I can tell the full story one day . Thank you.
