Every time I go to visit mum in her NH she starts to cry and asks me to take her home with me. When I say I can't she says I don't love or want her anymore. I know it's the dementia talking but I find it so upsetting and often sit and cry with her.
From talking to my brothers she is not like it with them. I am her only daughter and we have always been very close but it is getting to the stage where I am finding it really hard to want to go and see her.
I know I will never have 'my old mum' back and we all have to make the best of a dreadful situation but is anyone else going through anything like this and if so how do they cope with it.
I suffer with severe clinical depression which is controlled with medication and I don't want to go down that road again and I am scared of it returning.
Sorry I am rambling but I love my mum so much and I find it so hard to see her the way she is now.
Thanks to anyone who reads this. Sheila
