My sister has been diagnosed with lewy body dementia about 10 months ago. Her husband cares for her but he is in denial. Sometimes she doesn't recognize him.he phones me and she is screaming in the back ground that he's going to kill her.
I visit her and she is so frightened and doesn't want to live in the house with him. She has started to attack him, kicking and trying to punch him.
Her son lives with them and again she is scared of him as well. When I got there on Saturday she told me that the son had twisted her hands and I could see her fingers were swollen.
This is not the first time she has told me that they both have hurt her. They tell a different story, that they had to restrain her.
I'm not sure if she is making this up or it is true.
I have tried to get help but her husband tells the doctor all is fine.
What can I do,she's begging me to help.
