Hi
Have been reading lots of posts trying to find answers and need to ask a few questions to find out how we can help now?
Will try and keep a long story short so not to bore you
We recently visited my mum and dad(160 miles away) to help dad sort out his car(pride and joy)Triumph Stag!!! He had fiddled and couldn't mend it so Jon my husband mended it for him.
Mum when we were there, hid her tablet down the side of the settee as she thought it was dad's pill's and he was making her take them?( she is on Aricept)
Then my dad said that she is driving, he said that when they see the doctor, they may give her a different medication that will make her better, i told him that she will not get better(in a nice way)feel that we are all trying to help him but that its not really helping.
MY DAD bless him is trying so hard, but the house is getting dirty, mum doesnt do alot apart from search the phone book for past friends and family and talk about the past( going back to her home with her mum) which is long gone.
Now mum has refused to sign papers to get cash out of their joint ISA, as she said it's her money that he's stealing it!!!
She is getting really nasty towards dad and dont know quite what to do?
They are at the specialist on Thursday.
Can anyone help us out here, getting desperate, DAD is starting to struggle to control her.
This week she took the car and dog and went to visit old haunts from her past, luckily one of those was the dentist! Dont ask!!!! Dad had to go pick her up??
Please really need some sound advice
Thanks
Gill
