Hi, everyone,
I have been reading the posts on here for a while and have finally got around to registering.
Tonight probably was the final straw. Mum has AD and lives with my sister who has a learning disability. Her agitation reached an enormous high tonight. she insists that she is living in the wrong place, is left on her own all day and night (not true to both). I ended up crying, so did my daughter, hubby went round to try and sort things out as I have not been well over the past few months and have hospital tomorrow so he wanted me to be as calm as possible..... blood pressure through the roof again when I go methinks. She will not listen when we try to explain to her and just shouts. I really feel at the end of my tether, I am going to get the doctor out tomorrow when I am back from the hospital, as I don't know what to do. She is not frightened of burglars etc, just keeps saying that we are keeping her in and leaving her on her own, she does not remember visitors and if my sister goes out to her clubs etc mum phones to say she is all alone and has been for hours, even if it is only half an hour. What is upsetting is that she will not accept that what we are saying is the truth. My sister is getting really distressed and does not now want to live with mum.
Sorry for the rant, if anyone can give me any advice I would be very grateful. Feel that I can't sleep just waiting for the phone to ring with yet another problem.
