Dad seems to have spent all weekend in the wardrobe again sorting things either to tidy things up or packing to go home but there's no way of convincing him he is at home. He knows the address, and even looked out to the garden which he recognises, but he still doesn't think he's at home.
Today I had to leave work to see him as he wanted me to take him to work to pick his tools up, and I couldn't convince him he's been retired 15+ years. And coming out of work only upset mum, so I can bet that I won't get told next time it happens whilst I'm at work.
Found myself ringing the helpline for advice (or miracle cure) thinking they might tell me something I hadn't read on here in everyone else's experiences.
Ended up ringing the local office and they're coming to see us next week. Just that I'll need to return from a holiday for the day to see them.
I've been trying to convince mum that we need to do this to get help after every previous occurrence as it's not going to get better. I didn't give her any options today. It's one of those things she may have normally done, but she's run into the ground with it all, and it's not doing either of us any good.
Can't wait to see what tomorrow will bring
