Hi all
My mum is 60 in August. She was diagnosed in 2013. (July 10th)
She is deteriorating and its hard!
I work full time, as does her husband.
I have a 14 yr old son who doesn't understand.
We are all finding it hard to communicate with each other let alone try to understand mums illness.
I suggested counsilling, but is there anywhere that offers training for families not just work carers?
Also, i know theres gonna come a time i/we will have to give up work to help my mum and her husband. But do we get help with that if we stop work?
Im struggling so much! Tonight mum hammered on my front door (we live round the corner from each other ) accusing me of stealing her trainer for an art project. When i suggested that one of her dogs had taken it she flipped out at me! Should i of suggested i look for it anyway?
Said trainer was in her cuboard.
Shes also accusing her husband of having an affair! Poor man. He's scared for her as we all are and struggling.
Any advice greatly appreciated xxx
