Hi everyone, I've just joined this forum. My dad has early onset dementia and I help to care for him along with my auntie. He has no concept of the practical issues with running a home as my mum did all the practical stuff, but sadly we lost her suddenly, 2 and a half years ago, so I deal with the bills etc and my auntie helps with shopping and other bits. He's 70 in January and I thought organising a party would be a nice idea. On Wednesday I saw a different side to Dad, he got angry and cross over some costings to do with the party, he was adamant we are being charged to much and I couldn't make him understand that it was all ok. I know this is a classic symptom of people suffering from dementia that they worry about money but it was really scary. I was left feeling so upset and scared for the future that I thought I would seek support from people who are going through the same thing.
I'm not looking for answers, sadly I know there aren't any, just somewhere to share my worries and concerns.
