I have been a carer for my husband for 6 years. I now have a big problem with him needing the toilet during the night. We live in a small one bedroom flat, the bathroom is right opposite our bedroom, l leave both the doors open and have night lights on, so is easy to see. For the past few weeks he wil go into the bathroom, look at the toilet then turn away and use other places to wee instead. Has even gone into the kitchen and used the “ recycling box”. I have tried getting him to used night pull on pads, but he just takes them off, found them down the toilet more than once. I am not getting much sleep now, waking up every time he moves. Even when l wake in time to go with him, l have a real battle to get him to use the toilet with him saying “ no l cannot do it in there”. When he sees me mopping up where he has been time and time again, he just says, “no it wasn’t me, it must have been you” !!.
It is just getting too much now, l am so tired. The days l can cope with. Will be pleased to hear if anyone has any suggestions
