Hi. my name is Julia and my father has dementia. He is 76 years old and lives at home with my mother. His memory has been worsening over the last couple of years, but it is the violence and aggression which is now scaring me rigid. Over the last few months he has started to accuse various family members, including myself, my 17 year old son and even my 6 year old nephew of stealing from his house. When my mother refuses to be drawn into a conversation regarding this, he starts shouting and yelling at her, throwing things at her and telling her he hates her and wishes her dead. She is also 76 and is crippled with arthritis and I am petrified that one day he will cause her serious injury. I cannot go to the house as I am the main target of his anger, but I speak to my mother when I can and it breaks my heart that she is so unhappy. My brother thinks he should be sectioned, but I am not sure if this is the right thing to do. Can anyone offer any advice please?
