Another though on violent behaviour
I have been following violent behavious with couples. Although it is through a terrible illness, the danger for the spouse/Carer is still there. The help should be URGENT. If it was a couple in this situation, police etc., would be there, so why does not this come with the same label? Petr use to carry knives about him, stanley knife, swiss arm knife and although he was never violet, I did live in terror - What if? It was only talking to his Consultant that something that was done. I was seen as ingreat danger.
Why do we have to make thess stupid people understand the world of A.D./Dementia. We never know what will happen the next time. A neighbour with A.D. actually stabbed her husband, gentle lady, with a kitchen knife and Local Authorities acted immediately. Why does it have to get that far?
