It may be a "lost in translation" moment @Shyness143 , but I dont think anyone is intending to have a go at you. Im sorry if it feels as though we are, though.
What we are all pointing out is that if you insist on complete truth all the time you are going to have a very hard time. The difference between truth and lies gets very blurred with dementia and you will not be able to stop your nan lying. We are trying to suggest things to make your life easier.Your nan wont be able to change because of the dementia - only you can do this
Many people on here are looking after family relatives who they never had a good relationship with, so you are not alone with that. We all know how difficult it is. I think we all feel like the very worst person when we start looking after someone with dementia. I made so many rookie mistakes and having qualifications didnt help me at all.
